What's New

Upgrade Notes

This release drops support for Imgur and ImgBB uploads, ImageShare itself now hosts uploaded images temporarily. See #31 for more information. If you absolutely need Imgur or ImgBB, do not upgrade past v2.4 (previously v24.06).

You need to specify a maximum file size for uploads in your .env file as a new line. In the below example, the limit is set at 20MB.

UPLOAD_LIMIT=20

If you are running the production version of ImageShare, you also need to fill out your domain and email address in the .env file, like the below example. The DOMAIN and EMAIL values should be what you were already using for Certbot.

DOMAIN=yourwebsitegoeshere.com
EMAIL=youremail@example.com

If you set up automated SSL certificate renewals (with crontab or some other method) by calling the certbot command with all the arguments, you should replace it with the new recommended method of restarting the certbot Docker container.

Finally, you can upgrade by checking out the tag and rebuilding the Docker container.

git fetch && git checkout v3.0
docker compose down
docker compose -f docker-compose.yml up --build

If you're using the production application, replace docker-compose.yml with docker-compose-prod.yml.

Version scheme changes

ImageShare has switched from a calendar versioning scheme to semantic versioning. The previous v24.06 release has been renamed as v2.4, the first Docker Compose version has been retroactively labelled as v2.0, and so on.
