Tasker

Tasker can fetch a wallpaper from your server and set it on Android, on any schedule you like.

Building the task

1. Add an HTTP Request action:
   • Method: GET
   • URL: http://your-server:8519/api/wallpapers/random/image?orientation=portrait
   • Configure it to write the response body to a file, for example wallpaper.jpg in a Tasker-accessible directory.
2. Add a wallpaper action (Tasker’s Set Wallpaper, or a plugin) that points at the downloaded file.
3. Attach the task to a Profile — for example a time profile that runs every morning.

Replace your-server with your server’s address on the network.

Note

Tasker’s HTTP action and its options vary by version. The key requirement is that the request writes the binary response body to a file, since the endpoint returns raw image bytes. If your version’s HTTP Request cannot save binary output, use the HTTP Get action or a download plugin instead.

Reachability and security

• The Android device must be able to reach the server. On a home network, use the server’s LAN address.
• Wallpaper Server serves over plain HTTP and has no authentication. Keep it on a trusted network, or place it behind a reverse proxy that adds TLS and access control before exposing it. See the API overview.
