imgopt is an image processing proxy with a very simple API, created to download and dynamically scaledown, convert, and cache different media formats on the fly to allow faster delivery for the Holaplex Storefront.
Quickest way to start playing with imgopt is by launching the server via docker.
By default, only proxying images from ipfs.io service is allowed (This can be changed by creating your own config. Use config-sample.toml as a guide to create your own config.toml file).
docker run -p 3030:3030 mpwsh/imgopt:0.2.1Open http://localhost:3030/health to validate your server is running. You should see 200 OK.
To get a scaled down version of an image or video, just make a GET request to your imgopt instance providing the desired width as a query parameter and the service in the URL path.
The URL structure should look like this:
http://localhost:3030/<service>/<image-to-scaledown>?width=<desired-width>
In order to, for example, scale down this JPG image, you should point your browser to:
http://localhost:3030/ipfs/bafybeih26pot7dyvqkjabsx75fuypf6cy6derd6tojnfpctja75a2j7uk4?width=600

Change the width to get the image size you want (Use a size from the allowed_sizes array in your config file). The following requests with same width will be served from cache directly and skip conversion entirely.
To get the original image remove the ?width= parameter.
MP4 files work the same way, but those will be converted to GIF automatically and then scaled down to the desired width.
imgopt will create two folders inside the path specified in storage_path variable on the config.toml file to store the original and modified images and videos on start-up.
If you run imgopt from the container image, remember to mount a volume to persist the cached and original files in a folder on your control and send the modified config to the container as well.
mkdir imgopt-data
docker run -d --network=host -v $(pwd)/imgopt-data:/root/imgopt-data -v $(pwd)/config.toml:/root/config.toml mpwsh/imgopt:0.1.6The config file is pretty straightforward and all values are commented with a small description for ease of customization.
To add more services to proxy and process through imgopt just add a new object as the one below, specifying name and uri endpoint.
The endpoint should NOT contain a closing forward slash.
[[services]]
name = "ipfs"
endpoint = "https://ipfs.io/ipfs"
#max age header for media files (Optional, default 31536000 seconds)
cache.max_age = 31536000
[[services]]
name = "arweave"
endpoint = "https://arweave.net"
[[services]]
name = "yourservice"
endpoint = "https://servicewebsite.com"
If you want to use imgopt to cache API calls to twitter, you need to set up the env var TWITTER_BEARER_TOKEN when executing.
The code in this repository can be built using cargo without any further dependencies. Just clone the repo and execute cargo build --release.
If you only need JPEG and PNG resizing you can stop installing things here and just run the server located in ./target/release/.
If MP4 and GIF are required on your setup then carry on.
Keep in mind that (as mentioned above) ffmpeg, gifsicle and gifski are required to trigger some conversions, which have their own dependencies.
ffmpeg and gifsicle can be installed via apt in debian based systems.
apt install ffmpeg gifsicle libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev libavdevice-dev libclang-dev clang -ygifski can be installed using brew, or you can download the binary directly from their github repo.
wget --quiet https://github.com/ImageOptim/gifski/releases/download/1.6.4/gifski_1.6.4_amd64.deb
dpkg -i gifski_1.6.4_amd64.debLast piece of the puzzle is copying a small wrapper script located in scripts/mp4-to-gif.sh, which will take care of calling ffmpeg and gifski to convert mp4 to gif.
Copy the script on the alongside imgopt (both should live in the same folder).
You folder structure should look like this:
mp4-to-gif.sh
config.toml
imgoptOnce everything is setup, you should be able to just execute ./imgopt.
The configuration being used is printed on startup when using log_level = "debug" to help troubleshooting.
