Image Host

To finish linking your domain to our website please go to your domain provider dashboard, then go to the dns options.
For this exemple i will use Cloudflare but your domain provider dashboard works the same.

Here click “Add record” then change the Record type to CNAME, put the name the “Domain Configuration” pop-up gave you and put the Value in the target box un check the proxied option in “Proxy status” and put it to “DNS only” for it to work. Then it save.

After this go back to your image-host dashboard and open back the pop-up by clicking “Open DNS Setup” in “Your Domains”.

Verify your domain

Now press the “Verify Domain” button.

If you see this then you’re good to go !

However if you got any error then please double check if u use Cloudflare that the record is DNS only and not proxied.

If it is DNS only and not proxied then you have to wait for the DNS propagation.
You can use https://dnschecker.org/ to check your DNS.
Choose CNAME, put your DNS record name and hit Search.

Install Flameshot

Install Flameshot using your distribution’s package manager:

Other Distributions

sudo apt install flameshot

sudo dnf install flameshot

sudo pacman -S flameshot

Download Config Script

Visit haunt.gg/dashboard/imagehost/overview, click the “Download Config” button, select Flameshot, and download the script file.

The downloaded file will be a .sh script that handles screenshot capture and upload automatically.

Make Script Executable

Open a terminal and navigate to where you downloaded the script, then make it executable:

It’s recommended to create a dedicated directory for the script in your home folder for better organization:

mkdir -p ~/haunt
mv haunt.gg_config.sh ~/haunt/
cd ~/haunt

chmod +x haunt.gg_config.sh

Install Required Dependencies

The script requires jq, curl, and xclip. Install them if not already present:

Ubuntu/Debian
Fedora
Arch Linux
Other Distributions

sudo apt install jq curl xclip

sudo dnf install jq curl xclip

sudo pacman -S jq curl xclip

Use your distribution’s package manager to install:

jq - JSON processor
curl - HTTP client
xclip - Clipboard utility

Test the Script

Run the script to test if everything works:

./haunt.gg_config.sh

The Flameshot GUI should open, allowing you to take a screenshot. After capturing, the image URL will be copied to your clipboard, and you’ll see a notification.

Set Up Keyboard Shortcut (Optional)

For convenience, you can set up a keyboard shortcut to run the script:

GNOME/Ubuntu
KDE/Plasma
XFCE
i3/Hyprland/Sway
Command Line

Open Settings → Keyboard → Keyboard Shortcuts
Click Custom Shortcuts or View and Customize Shortcuts
Click the + button to add a new shortcut
Name: Haunt.gg Screenshot

Shortcut: Press your desired key combination (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+S)

Open System Settings → Shortcuts
Go to Custom Shortcuts
Right-click and select New → Global Shortcut → Command/URL
Name: Haunt.gg Screenshot
Go to Trigger tab and set your key combination (e.g., Ctrl+Shift+S)
Go to Action tab and set Command: ~/haunt/haunt.gg_config.sh

Open Settings → Keyboard
Go to Application Shortcuts tab
Click Add button
Command: ~/haunt/haunt.gg_config.sh

Add this line to your config file:i3 (~/.config/i3/config):

bindsym $mod+Shift+s exec ~/haunt/haunt.gg_config.sh

bind = SUPER_SHIFT, S, exec, ~/haunt/haunt.gg_config.sh

Sway (~/.config/sway/config):

bindsym $mod+Shift+s exec ~/haunt/haunt.gg_config.sh

You can also run the script directly from terminal:

~/haunt/haunt.gg_config.sh

Or create a shell alias by adding this to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc:

alias screenshot='~/haunt/haunt.gg_config.sh'

Then reload your shell and use: screenshot

Verify Upload Configuration

Check Script Contents

You can verify that your API key and upload URL are correctly configured by viewing the script:

cat haunt.gg_config.sh

Look for these lines:

auth="YOUR_API_KEY" - Should contain your API key
url="https://haunt.gg/api/imagehost/upload" - Should be the upload endpoint

Test Upload

Take a test screenshot and verify:

Screenshot GUI opens properly
Image uploads successfully
URL is copied to clipboard
Notification appears confirming upload

Troubleshoot Dependencies

If the script fails, ensure all dependencies are installed:

which flameshot jq curl xclip

All commands should return valid paths.
