Incaan - Dummy image server on your local environment.

Introduction

This is a node js application that acts as a dummy image server in your local environment. Incaan does not require an internet connection to display images. Incaan will use localhost and port 3000 (customizable), then provide an endpoint to display the image.

Usage

To use Incaan, make sure your computer has Node JS installed. Incan can be run by typing the following command in terminal/cmd.

npx incaan

When you first run it, you will be asked to confirm that Incaan will be installed on your computer. To continue you can select "yes".

Custom Port

By default, Incaan listens for requests on port 3000 on your localhost. If for some reason this port is already in use, you can change it by adding the port at the end of the command when starting the Incaan server.

npx incaan 5000
