This API is a wrapper for the textgenrnn meme generation models available here

Build the Docker image with the following command

docker build . -t memegen-backend

Run the API on port 5000

docker run -it -p 5000:5000 --rm memegen-backend

The API will then be available at http://localhost:5000

The API has a single endpoint /meme/{template_id}/{temperature}

• template_id: a string representing the template to be used. Currently only drake is supported. Edit the MemeTemplate enum to add more
• temperature: controls how "creative" the model is. See the textgenrnn documentation for details

The API response had the following format:

{
  "top": first text box,
  "bottom": second text box,
  "image": base 64 image
}

If you want to run the API on HTTPS (and use a custom domain) run it with docker-compose up --build

Before running docker-compose update the variables YOUR_EMAIL and YOUR_DOMAIN in docker-compose.yml
