docker run -d -p 8080:80 --name=pictshare ghcr.io/hascheksolutions/pictshare
```
Then open http://localhost:8080 in your browser
## Breaking changes in v3
#### Dropped configuration options
- TITLE
- UPLOAD_FORM_LOCATION
- ALLOW_BLOATING
#### File name in URL
In Picthsare v3 we have changed the requirement for the image to be the last part of the URL. While with older PictShare Versions you could put the file name at any place of the URL, we now require the last part of the URL to be the file name.
- before: https://pictshare.net/roate-left/1234.png/800x600/
- now: https://pictshare.net/roate-left/600x600/1234.png
#### API changes
The API has been moved to a more consistant and RESTful design. The API documentation has been updated to reflect these changes.
## New Features
- Generate identicons based on strings in the URL [example1](https://pictshare.net/identicon/example1) [example2](https://pictshare.net/identicon/example2)
- Generate placeholder images by specifying the size in the URL. [example](https://pictshare.net/placeholder/555x250/color-white-blue)
- Added support for external storage
- [Encryption of files in external storage](/rtfm/ENCRYPTION.md)
- Added text hosting (like pastebin)
- Added URL shortening
- Added WebP to images (and automatic conversion from jpg, png to webp if the requesting browser supports it)
- Massive code rework. Actually we designed it from the ground up to be more modular and easier to debug
# Features
- Selfhostable
- [Simple upload API](/rtfm/API.md)
- 100% file based - no database needed
- [Scalable hosting](/rtfm/SCALING.md)
- Many [Filters](/rtfm/IMAGEFILTERS.md) for images
- GIF to MP4 conversion
- JPG, PNG to WEBP conversion
- MP4 resizing
- PictShare removes all exif data so you can upload photos from your phone and all GPS tags and camera model info get wiped
- Change and resize your images and videos just by editing the URL
- Duplicates don't take up space. If the exact same file is uploaded twice, the second upload will link to the first
- Many [configuration options](/rtfm/CONFIG.md)
- Full control over your data. Delete images with individual and global delete codes
