feature request: allow custom URL for backgrounds

[mprajescu]

Hi. Just wanted to let you know you did a great job with jump.
I absoluteley love it.
I would like to request a bit of improvement in my opinion.

I am currently using Lorem Space (https://lorem.space/) to provide similar functionality for Unsplash, but I host my own backgrounds for different services. I simply point my URL to grab a wallpaper from the server with the desired resolution and with every new request, I get a different wallpaper.

This works great behind corporate firewalls where, unfortunatley, unsplash/pixabay and other services are blocked.

Is it possible to implement the lorem.space URL request for backgrounds?

Happy to provide more info if you need it.

Howdy, thanks for reaching out. There is scope for something like a static bgurl option that you could stick any URL in and it will just use that for the CSS background-image URL, this would work for your use case and probably a few others too.

I'll add it to the backlog 🙂

I've added an option for this in v1.2.2 (released today). You can now add a custom background provider via the ALTBGPROVIDER environment variable (if using Docker) or the altbgprovider parameter in config.php.

Thank you again for reaching out :)
