View, share and enjoy them and backup and store them both in the cloud and on your desktop automatically. You will need to enable uploads through your camera's on-screen menu system for any of this to work.Keenai automatically organizes, syncs, and backups all your ORIGINAL RESOLUTION photos and videos from all your cameras accessible on all your devices. Nikon owners: be aware that recent camera firmwares contain an Eye-Fi specific setting that disables uploads to conserve power.
Be sure you're not running Eye-Fi's own software anywhere, or the card might find that server first. Your Eye-Fi card, when properly configured to join the same network as your server, will scan its local subnet for a server listening port 59278 and upload images to it. But you can also just use the run command when needed. You might want to use a mechanism like Upstart to do this automatically on your chosen host machine. Start the server with the appropriate port exposed: docker run -rm -t -i -p 59278:59278 eyefiserver:main. This should be faster the second time! docker build -t eyefiserver:main. Copy this value and paste it into the docker console at the prompt. Once you do, your browser will display some XML that includes an oauth_verifier value.
You will be prompted to grant permissions. It will output a URL that you should paste into your browser. The script will detect that Flickr functionality is enabled but not fully configured.
You should adjust the values in nf to reflect your card MAC address and upload key. The following instructions assume a Linux or OS X system, but it's probably possible to get this all working on Windows somehow (though tbh someone should just bake a Windows exe instead of going the Docker route).
You should install Docker, the amazing virtualization-but-not-really technology that provides a pleasantly reliable computing environment for projects like this one.
You will need to be able to use your system's command-line to pull this off.
It also tears out a bunch of unnecessary code and modernizes a thing or two. With a spare computer like a Raspberry Pi, we can take over the Eye-Fi upload procedure and send the photos wherever we damn well please. It seems unfair! So now you buy this expensive SD card and that gives you the right to pay forever for Eye-Fi's lousy web photo service. You can see why this would upset someone who's trying to sell a product. Eye-Fi realized that this deal only involves them getting paid once, instead of forever. What a great idea!Įxcept, uh oh, there's a problem. The idea was that you paid for this little superpowered SD card and then it would make your life permanently more convenient. Eye-Fi cards let your fancy-but-not-fancy-enough-to-have-wifi camera upload your pictures to the web without having to fiddle with a bunch of software.
