Env Vars

magni recognizes three environment variables:

HTTP_PROXY/HTTPS_PROXY

You can also specify a socks5 proxy here since magni uses pysocks to make the connections.
If the env vars are not defined or are empty magni will not use any proxy.

MAGNI_MODEL_PATH

Path to the directory where magni will store the models.
If the env var is not defined or is empty, magni will use ./models as a default value.

MAGNI_IMAGE_PATH

Path to the directory where magni will store the upscaled images.
If the env var is not defined or is empty magni will use ./images as a default value.

MAGNI_USER_AGENT

The user agent magni will use the download the images.
If the env var is not defined or is empty, magni will use a default user agent you can see below:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/108.0.0.0 Safari/537.36

TODO

currently the models we are using are not as effective. I should either fine ones that are specifically trained on greyscale images or just train some myself.
