Use at your own risk

Soshot make webshot of internet page with headless machine (Google Chrome).

Ideas

• If webshot exist in desired size, serve them, if not, verif if complete exist, if exist, crop and resize, save and serve
• If webshot not exist get information of page and add in the queue
• Cron job take a webshot of complete page and save them (1920 x complete lenth)
• Crop image and resize desired format (1920x1080, 1280x720, 160x90 ...), save and serve

SoShot always make complete webshot (1920x page lenght) + first demande size.

Size use 16/9 ratio :

• fav = define by config (default 48px)
• og = define by the website himself (no resize or crop)
• thumb = 160x90
• nhd = 640x360
• hd = 1280x720
• full = 1920x1080
• complete = 1920xpage height

Installation

Docker (recommended)

For the moment I don't provide any image in any hub.

Build image

wget https://forge.leslibres.org/Knah-Tsaeb/Soshot/raw/branch/main/Dockerfile
docker buildx build --no-cache -t soshot:0.3.0 .

Start container

You can use native docker volume.

docker run -v soshot_datas:/var/www/datas -v soshot_cache:/var/www/cache -e TZ=UTC -p 8187:80 --name soshot soshot:0.3.0

Or use absolute path

docker run -v /opt/soshot/datas:/var/www/datas -v /opt/soshot/cache:/var/www/public/cache -e TZ=UTC -p 8187:80 --name soshot soshot:0.3.0

• url (url of page encode with url_encode)

Example : https://shoshot.your-domain.tld/api?type=fav&hmac=44a2b3f1bc43895c23779f4e71558e9976a4daf2&url=https%3A%2F%2Ffr.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FLogiciel_libre
