UploadX (Cloud Run edition)

A simple server written in Go for screenshot uploading (originally written for ShareX, works with alot of screenshot programs). Utilises the POST functionality for very speedy uploading.

The original version is here, this version is modified to run on Google Cloud Run with Google Cloud Storage as a backend.

Usage

• Install and authenticate to gcloud cli utilities
• Clone repo
• Run gcloud builds submit --tag gcr.io/YOUR_PROJECT/uploadx (this may take a few minutes, this builds the container and uploads it to gcr.io)
• Whilst that's running, go to console.cloud.google.com/storage and create a bucket. Choose a multi-region location (us or eu, normally). Keep Storage Class as 'Standard'. Keep everything else as default.
• OPTIONAL: Create a lifecycle rule to automatically delete objects from that bucket after X days. I have my bucket auto-delete screenshots after 7 days.
• Once your build is done, go to console.cloud.google.com/run (make sure the correct project is selected) and hit 'Create Service', select the correct container and your region.
• Expand the advanced section at the bottom and fill in three environment variables: UPLOAD_KEY (used for authentication in the POST request), BUCKET_NAME (your Google Cloud Storage bucket name), PROJECT_ID (your Google Cloud project ID)
• You're deployed. Be sure to add a domain mapping to use your custom domain, vs the supplied a.run.app subdomain.

Client libraries

An example bash script for macOS is available in clientexample/screeny.sh. It is possible to use UploadX with ShareX.
