Screenshots API

HiTechCloud SiteManager displays a website screenshot for each website. These screenshots are by default locally generated and stored on your server.

Remote API​

When installing HiTechCloud on your server, you can use the --screenshots=<url> flag to use a custom api instead.

Later, you can update the setting using: hitechcloudcli config update screenshots <url_of_your_remote_service>

This is recommended for small servers, as the local screenshots api will use additional 1GB of storage.

To setup your own screenshots API:

1. Deploy:
2. Configure your custom domain
3. Update HiTechCloud to use it, example if domain is screenshots-v2.hitechcloud.org then run:

   hitechcloudcli config update screenshots http://screenshots-v2.hitechcloud.org/api/screenshot
