like, any webcam. the one in your laptop. the dusty one in a drawer. she doesn't judge. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

🦋 Usage of cam2ip: 🦋

here's the whole squad of flags, no gatekeeping, we're listing every single one because that's what besties do 💅

• -bind-addr string — the bind address, aka where she parks herself to listen. you can also set it with the env var [CAM2IP_BIND_ADDR]. default is ":56000". 🚪
• -delay int — the delay between frames, measured in milliseconds. yep, milliseconds, so don't go typing seconds in there and wondering why it's giving chaos. you can also set it with [CAM2IP_DELAY]. default is 10. ⏱️
• -height float — frame height. she's a float, not an int, don't @ me. also settable via [CAM2IP_HEIGHT]. default is 480. 📏
• -htpasswd-file string — path to the htpasswd file. and here's the tea: if this is empty, auth is straight-up disabled. so if you leave it blank, anyone can walk in like they own the place. 🙈 you can also set it with [CAM2IP_HTPASSWD_FILE]. 🔐
• -index int — the camera index, for when you've got multiple cameras and need to point at the right one. settable via [CAM2IP_INDEX]. no default listed, so it is what it is. 🎥
• -nowebgl — disable WebGL drawing of images (this is the html handler's whole thing). settable via [CAM2IP_NOWEBGL]. 🖼️
• -rotate int — rotate the image. valid values are only 90, 180, and 270 — so don't come in here with a 45, that's not a vibe she supports. settable via [CAM2IP_ROTATE]. 🔄
• -timestamp — draws a timestamp on the images, so you always know when that frame happened. settable via [CAM2IP_TIMESTAMP]. 🕰️
• -width float — frame width. also a float, stay consistent bestie. settable via [CAM2IP_WIDTH]. default is 640. 📐

ngl, every single one of these has an environment-variable twin in the square brackets, so you can flex via env vars instead of flags if that's your main character energy. 🌈

that's the whole page, you ate it, go stream your webcam to the internet responsibly 💜
