installation

Make sure your scanner is working with SANE.

Debian / Raspbian / Ubuntu

Prerequisites

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install apache2 apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php5 php5 sane-utils imagemagick

On newer debians you will need

sudo apt install apache2 apache2-utils libapache2-mod-php sane-utils imagemagick

Check apache can use SANE. If you know about saned and permissions then you may not need to worry about this.

sudo su -m www-data -c 'scanimage --test'

if not then try

sudo gpasswd -a www-data scanner

Or perhaps

# it's necessary to add www-data to "lp" with
sudo usermod -a -G lp www-data

Install

Here's a one liner to install

wget -O ~/install.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sbs20/scanserv/master/install.sh && chmod +x ~/install.sh && sudo ~/install.sh

If you want to change any configuration then look in /var/www/html/scanserv/classes_php/Config.php

QNAP

cd ~
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/sbs20/scanserv/archive/master.zip
cd /share/Qweb
sudo unzip ~/master.zip
sudo mv scanserv-master/ scanserv

Set variables correctly

/opt/bin/nano /share/Qweb/classes_php/Config.php

Then set the Scanimage and Convert lines - mine were as follows

<?php
class Config {
        const IsTrace = false;
        const TraceLineEnding = "<br>\n";
        const Scanimage  = "/opt/bin/scanimage";
        const Convert  = "/usr/local/sbin/convert";
        const BypassSystemExecute = false;
        const OutputDirectory = "./output/";
        const PreviewDirectory = "./preview/";
        const MaximumScanWidthInMm = 215;
        const MaximumScanHeightInMm = 297;
}
?>

Test

  • You may need to set the permissions of your new directory: chmod 775 /share/Qweb/scanserv
  • Ensure your QNAP web server is running
  • Open your browser and navigate to http://YOUR_QNAP:PORT/scanserv/

Arch

To fix permissions

  • useradd -m scanservhttpd
  • sudo usermod -G scanner scanservhttpd

Confirm:

sudo -i -u scanservhttd
scanimage -L

QNAP NAS install OLD (Pre QTS version 4.0?)

  • Install IPKG
  • SSH into your NAS - e.g. use PuTTY as admin
  • Plug your scanner into a USB port
  • Type lsusb to check the scanner is attached
  • At the terminal type the following commands
    • ipkg update
    • ipkg install libieee1284
    • ipkg install sane-backends
    • ipkg install imagemagick
  • Confirm installation typing...
    • sane-find-scanner -q
    • scanimage -L
    • su -m httpdusr -c 'scanimage --test' - if this fails you need to give permission to scanimage for httpdusr
  • Download the scanserv code and copy it to your Qweb share
  • You may need to set the permissions of your new directory: chmod 775 /share/Qweb/scanserv
  • Ensure your QNAP web server is running
  • Open your browser and navigate to http://YOUR_QNAP:PORT/scanserv/
