SimpleJsServer

This project serves as a simple node server that serves all the js files in a given folder

Setup

Requirements

NodeJs and npm must be installed

Installation

npm install -g simple-js-server

Starting

sjss <path_to_js_dir> [port]

when no port is specified it will use 3000

Use case

Using with Nginx Reverse to inject js into PhotoPrism

• Create a new proxy host and link it to the sjss-server
  • add the sjss-server with some url (js.example.com)
• edit the proxy host for your PhotoPrism instance
  • in the advanced tab add (replace with your url):

    sub_filter '</head>' '<script src="https://js.example.com/"></script></head>';
    sub_filter_once on;

now on every PhotoPrism instance loaded you get the js injected, this allows for the use of "extensions" even in the mobile application

THIS SHOULD NOT BE USED IN PRODUCTION OR TO SERVE END-USERS

This project was made for injecting js via a nginx reverse proxy, specifically for injecting into the PhotoPrism frontend, as a way to allow easy customisation and addon creation
