Imago is the webserver that I use to power the TEK Net CDN. The server was designed to allow ShareX users to easily and securely upload their screenshots to a fast, well-designed and efficient server.

Here's what you can expect from Imago once you install it on your machine and get it running:
- simple setup and installation
- well-designed dashboard
- plenty of configuration options
- efficient file upload and storage
- url shortening
- admin options for user and upload control
- secure token authorization
- configurable file compression options (with admin bypass options)
- markdown rendering
Let's just cut to the chase, you want to know how to install this bad boy, don't you? Well then head over to the tutorial page for a detailed setup walkthrough!
This server has a set of configurable image compression options. At the moment, it uses Python's image manipulation package (PIL), limiting it strictly to image files only.
Setting the 'compress' option to yes means that PIL will attempt to lower the file size without damaging the quality too much.
You can change the resolution of an image by changing the quality option. A lower number means a lower quality and smaller file size, a higher number means higher quality and file size. The number can only be as high as 100 because it's a percentage, therefore a number higher than 100 may cause stretching and distortion.
Administrators can be allowed to bypass compression with a number of options. You can allow them to bypass this by setting the can_bypass option to yes. If this is done, you can also choose whether or not admins need to pass a specific header in their request to bypass compression. If compression is not bypassed for admins by default then they need to pass a header - set in the config file - with any True content (something other than an empty string).
At first, configuring ShareX may not seem like a simple task. So here's an example for you:

|---|---|
| Destination type | Image uploader; File uploader; Text uploader |
| URL | https://example.com/api/upload |
| Method | POST |
| Body | Form data (multipart/form-data) |
| File form name | upload |
| Headers (key: value) | Authorization: your api token |
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Destination type | URL shortener |
| URL | https://example.com/api/shorten |
| Method | POST |
| Body | JSON (application/json) |
| Body content | {"url": "$input$"} |
| Headers (key: value) | Authorization: your api token |
