ShareX setup

This guide provides an information on what ShareX is, how to set it up using DBH as it's "host" and how to add effects.

What ShareX is?

ShareX is a free and open source program available on windows that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key with a feature of uploading it to host.

What's the benefit of having ShareX installed?

ShareX provides a feature of uploading media to a host that can bypass uploading limits of media to any of the messengers like Discord using legal way or having screenshots stored not on a desktop. Having custom frame effects like this is dope right?

How to setup?

Before creating a ShareX server you have to install ShareX program on your pc using it's official website page

Manage files

Your File Manager on the panel should look like this where .sxcu files will be used soon.

By opening these files you will find similar "templates":

Images_and_Files.sxcu

{
  "Version": "12.4.0",
  "Name": "Images_and_Files",
  "DestinationType": "ImageUploader, FileUploader",
  "RequestMethod": "POST",
  "RequestURL": "http://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/api/files",
  "Body": "MultipartFormData",
  "Arguments": {
    "key": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
  },
  "FileFormName": "fdata"
}

Text.sxcu

{
  "Version": "12.4.0",
  "Name": "Text",
  "DestinationType": "TextUploader",
  "RequestMethod": "POST",
  "RequestURL": "http://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/api/paste",
  "Body": "MultipartFormData",
  "Arguments": {
    "key": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
  },
  "FileFormName": "fdata"
}

URL_Shortener.sxcu

{
  "Version": "12.4.0",
  "Name": "URL_Shortener",
  "DestinationType": "URLShortener",
  "RequestMethod": "POST",
  "RequestURL": "http://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/api/shortener",
  "Headers": {
    "url": "$input$"
  },
  "Body": "MultipartFormData",
  "Arguments": {
    "key": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
  },
  "FileFormName": "fdata"
}

Consider changing [YOUR_DOMAIN] field in "RequestURL" to your proxied domain. If you want your ShareX space to be private you have to set your own password in "key"! In src/config.json make sure to change "public", "port", "securePort", "domain" and "key"

Launch and configurate ShareX

Finish installation of ShareX and launch the program. What you have to do right now is configurate "Destinations":

There you have to import your changed files: Text.sxcu, Images_and_Files.sxcu, URL_Shortener.sxcu.

After all done, change uploader settings as in the picture

Move back and change destination uploaders to "Custom ... uploader" for every service

After all done you must configure "After..." triggers

Adding frame effect

Frame effect can be automatically added if you add it in "After capture task"! To create/import these frames you have to open the Effects settings in "Task Settings"

You can manually make your own cool frame effect just like I did but using official website you can install other frame effects!

Start the server

After saving all stuff you're ready to share your cool screenshots made using ShareX!
