"A" minimal cURL command to upload an image

curl 'http://localhost:4567/api/admin/upload/file' \
-H 'Cookie: express.sid=s%3A3aOlEybRIA-2ETDSLhzJbAAeFBbDqRSY.aqBLldxcKQCncS7C4NDqd7tD9lsXLWdbw2wA4P8HwoE' \
-H 'x-csrf-token: aUs0HZSZ-EBNli65aMwZw-vKpHAdZAz02X7k' \
--form "params={\"folder\":\"/test\"}" \
--form "files[]=@/mnt/c/Users/Terry/Downloads/small.jpg"

Thank you

Got it!

Tested the original cURL from the Browser Developer Tools against curl 'http://httpbin.org/post' (a post testing service)

replaced:

curl 'http://localhost:4567/api/admin/upload/file' \

with:

curl 'http://httpbin.org/post' \

curl 'http://localhost:4567/api/admin/upload/file' \

output from original cURL a 'http://httpbin.org/post'

removed:

I'm going to try to find more efficiencies in the above cURL upload command

Thank you

lostspace

I was able to upload an empty image using the cURL from "Copy as cURL (bash)" in the Chrome developer tools to my WSL2/Ubuntu console.

The "Copy as cURL (bash)" in the Chrome Developer tools doesn't explicitly set the folder name parameters or set the file[] binary data array for easy substitution.

So, when I ran the "Copy as cURL (bash) from the Chrome Developer tools it uploaded an "empty" image of 0kb correctly named.

curl 'http://localhost:4567/api/admin/upload/file' \
  -H 'Accept: */*' \
  -H 'Accept-Language: en-US,en' \
  -H 'Connection: keep-alive' \
  -H 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary1bBgU3aYIkSJ4VmP' \

  -H 'Origin: http://localhost:4567' \
  -H 'Referer: http://localhost:4567/admin/manage/uploads?dir=test' \
  -H 'Sec-Fetch-Dest: empty' \

  --compressed

How to get the "Copy as cURL (bash)

Output from the cURL command from the Chrome Developer Tools

[{"url":"/assets/uploads//test/walrus.jpg"}]

So, I need to replace what is in the --data-raw

--data-raw $'------WebKitFormBoundary1bBgU3aYIkSJ4VmP\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="files[]"; filename="walrus.jpg"\r\nContent-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary1bBgU3aYIkSJ4VmP\r\nContent-Disposition: form-data; name="params"\r\n\r\n{"folder":"/test"}\r\n------WebKitFormBoundary1bBgU3aYIkSJ4VmP--\r\n' \

With something like:

-F 'name=params: {"folder":"/test"}' \
-F "files[1]=@/mnt/c/Users/Terry/Downloads/small.jpg" \

I found this post very helpful it is exactly what I'm looking for Update category picture (via image upload) API not working

(Sorry for all the posts, I would have deleted the other ones...when I saw the api/upload in the ReDocs

I found more upload utils...I should have checked here first. This is exactly what I need.

I'm having trouble uploading images using the nodebb-write-api plugin

Here are the steps I've completed so far. The upload image nodebb-write-api example is at the bottom of this post.

Create NodeBB Instance

docker create --name myNodeBB --init --restart always -e url="http://192.168.0.41:4567" -p 4567:4567 -v nodebb-data:/var/lib/redis -v nodebb-files:/opt/nodebb/public/uploads -v nodebb-config:/etc/nodebb nilsramsperger/nodebb

Start NodeBB Instance

docker start myNodeBB

Install https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api/

docker exec -it myNodeBB sh

download NodeBB write-api plugin

cd /opt/nodebb/node_modules

wget https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-write-api/archive/refs/heads/master.zip

unzip master.zip

NodeBB activate the nodebb-plugin-write-api

activate nodebb api write plugin

Create a master token with uid 0

master token uid 0

Stop/Start NodeBB Instance

docker stop myNodeBB

docker start myNodeBB
