**libravatarserv** is a simple [libravatar](https://www.libravatar.org/) server.
It is intended as a
[CGI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Gateway_Interface) program.

Libravatar is a free service and an open specification for hosting profile
images tied to email or OpenID addresses.

## Features

* Avatar delivery based on email addresses
* Default avatar for unknown addresses
* MD5 hashes
* SHA256 hashes

### Soon

* Variable image size (`s`)

### Not supported

* Avatar delivery based on OpenID
* Default URL for missing images (`d`)

## Usage

Install nginx and
[fcgiwrap](https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/fcgiwrap/),
copy the [example config](https://schlomp.space/tastytea/libravatarserv/src/branch/master/doc/nginx-example.conf) to the nginx configuration directory and edit it
according to your needs. Other webservers and cgi spawners will also work, of
course.

libravatarserv looks in each of `${XDG_DATA_DIRS}` for a directory named
`libravatarserv`. You can force a different directory by setting the environment
variable `${AVATAR_DIR}`.

The image files are named like your email address, no file extension. Example:
`user@example.com`. If you want to deliver a default image for unknown email
addresses, name it `default`.
