## Definitions

### `social.colibri.beta.community.putImage`

**Type**: `procedure`

Sets a community's picture or banner. The bytes are uploaded to the community's own repo, which is why this goes through the AppView: a community's blobs can only be written with the community credentials the AppView holds, and a space record must reference a blob living in the repo that holds the record. Replaces whatever was there before.

#### Input

**Encoding**: `image/*`

#### Output

**Encoding**: `application/json`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `community` | `ref` → `social.colibri.beta.community.defs#communityView` | Yes | The community with the new image resolved, so one call is enough to re-render. |

#### Errors

- **AuthRequired**: The request is missing, malformed, or unverifiable service auth.
- **Forbidden**: The requesting user lacks the community.manage permission.
- **CommunityNotFound**: No community exists with that DID.
- **UnsupportedImage**: The bytes are not one of the accepted image types.
- **ImageTooLarge**: The image exceeds the size limit for this kind.
- **CredentialsUnavailable**: The AppView's stored credentials for this community are missing or unusable.
- **UpstreamFailure**: A PDS or third-party call the AppView depends on failed.
