Thumbor is an open-source imaging service for both on-demand and real-time image transformations. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process of Thumbor on Kali Linux Latest.
Open the terminal on your Kali Linux system.
Update your system packages and repositories by running the command:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install git
sudo apt-get install build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
sudo apt-get install python-pil
sudo pip install thumbor
thumbor -h
This should display the Thumbor help menu, which means that Thumbor is successfully installed on your Kali Linux system.
thumbor -p 8000
That's it! You have successfully installed Thumbor on Kali Linux Latest.
To configure Thumbor to work with your specific needs or requirements, you'll need to modify the configuration file. The configuration file is in JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format and can be edited using any text editor.
The default configuration file is located at /etc/thumbor.conf, but you can create a new one by running:
thumbor-config > thumbor.conf
This command will generate a new Thumbor configuration file named thumbor.conf in your current directory.
You can edit this file to configure things like the location of the cache directory, the maximum image size, the file format for saved images, etc. After you have made changes to the configuration file, save the file and restart the Thumbor server for the changes to take effect.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install Thumbor on Kali Linux Latest. Now you can start using Thumbor for your on-demand and real-time image transformations.
