Wibble News

Wibble News is a site where one can generate articles with images using LLM and Stable Diffusion or Dalle. Used mostly for satire, where the LLM being wrong doesn't harm

Image storage

Images are stored on the local filesystem by default. Set IMAGES_DIR to point to the directory where files should be written.

To store images in an S3 compatible bucket instead, configure the following environment variables and set STORAGE_TYPE=s3:

• S3_ENDPOINT – optional custom endpoint (e.g. for MinIO)
• S3_BUCKET_NAME – target bucket name
• S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID – access key ID
• S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY – secret access key
• S3_REGION – optional region, defaults to us-east-1

When STORAGE_TYPE is unset or set to local, the application continues to write and read images from the local IMAGES_DIR.

To migrate existing images from the local directory to the configured S3 bucket, run the helper binary:

cargo run --bin upload_images

Uploaded files are moved to UPLOADED_DIR (defaults to IMAGES_DIR/uploaded) so rerunning the command continues from the remaining images.
