Auth scenarios

Scenario Auth Ownership / visibility
Web upload Session cookie Current user
API upload + user token Auth-Token header Token owner
API upload + global token Auth-Token header Admin (userId null)
Twikoo POST /api/index.php form token Same as global token
Gallery list / search / delete Session or token Users: own only; admin: all
Direct link GET /images/... None (Referer rules) Public if URL is known

Accounts

  • By default only admins create users; allow registration is an admin setting
  • Passwords hashed with scrypt
  • Web login/register requires verification: local slider by default; admins can switch to Turnstile or Cap under Settings → Access control
  • If verification is misconfigured: docker exec pichost slider resets to the local slider
  • Login rate limiting

Tags

  • Tags are per-user: regular users manage and filter only their own tags and images
  • After upload on the home page, tag one image or use batch tagging; the gallery supports tag filters (OR / AND) and batch tagging
  • Admins manage tags under Settings → Tag management (create, recolor, merge, delete). Tags classify images only and do not change images/ storage paths

Batch tagging Tag management

Activity log

Admins review uploads, deletes, logins, settings changes, tag operations, and more under Settings → Activity log, with filters for date, user, action type, and source.

Activity log

Upload preferences & auto-delete

  • Upload preferences: admins configure client compression and auto-copy in Settings → Basic; regular users can flip the home upload card for personal preferences
  • Auto-delete: global (admin) and per-user policies; affects new uploads after enable only

API tokens

Type Managed by Upload owner Typical use
Global Admin (API page) Admin account Twikoo, site-wide scripts
Personal Each user (API page) That user Personal blog, private scripts

API_UPLOAD_TOKEN in env locks the global token — see Environment variables.
