Image to ASCII

Image to ASCII or Text to ASCII can be selected at the top. The default is image to ASCII. Select a black-and-white picture

For the convenience of explanation, Lao Su processed the official moving picture and divided it into several paragraphs

Old Su uploaded a picture of a star. Can you see who it is?

Text to ASCII

Text to ASCII only needs to input transformed text, but Chinese is not supported

Build mirror

Considering that most people are not interested in building, Lao Su put the building part behind this time

Dockerfile is built based on the project source code and has made a lot of optimizations. The main reason is that it has been replaced with domestic sources to solve the problems of slow construction and unsuccessful construction. In addition, the image has been reduced from 2G to 1G. Later, it will become the template for Lao Su to build Python and Django projects

I feel there is still room for further optimization. Take your time

The basic commands for building images and running containers are as follows 👇

# Download code
git clone https://github.com/hermanTenuki/ASCII-Generator.site.git ags

# Or mirror the site
git clone https://hub.fastgit.org/hermanTenuki/ASCII-Generator.site.git ags

# Enter directory
cd ags

# Put the 'Dockerfile' file in the code root directory

# Modify the project/settings.py file
# 1. Set EASY_RUN_MODE is set from False to True
# 2. Set TIME_ZONE='UTC 'changed to ` Asia/Shanghai`

# Build mirror
docker build -t wbsu2003/asciigen:v1 .

# Run container
docker run -d \
--name=wbsu2003-asciigen1 \
-p 1234:1234 \
wbsu2003/asciigen:v1
