Before you begin, ensure that you have the following:

Next, we need to configure Thumbor. Thumbor uses a configuration file to set the server parameters. The configuration file can be found in /etc/thumbor.conf.
You can use the default configuration file or create a custom configuration file by copying the default configuration file:
sudo cp /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/thumbor/config/thumbor.conf.sample /etc/thumbor.conf
To start the Thumbor server, run the following command:
thumbor -c /etc/thumbor.conf
You should see output similar to the following:
