Thumbor is an open-source image processing system that enables users to manipulate various aspects of an image. It supports multiple filters and transforms and is effortlessly customizable. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install Thumbor on OpenBSD.
Before we begin, ensure that your OpenBSD system meets the following requirements:
Install the required packages by running the following command:
sudo pkg_add python py-setuptools py-pil py-cryptography graphicsmagick
Once the packages have been installed, use pip to install Thumbor. Run the command below:
sudo pip install thumbor
Verify that Thumbor is installed by running the following command:
thumbor
If the installation was successful, you should see a message that says Server ready.
By default, Thumbor runs on port 8888. To change the port, you need to create a configuration file. Run the command:
thumbor-config > /etc/thumbor.conf
Once the configuration file has been created, proceed to edit it with your preferred text editor. Configure the applicable options, such as the port number, maximum image size, and allowed domains. For instance, you can edit the port by modifying the following line in the configuration file:
HTTP_SERVER_PORT = 8888
Save the changes and exit the file.
Start Thumbor by running the following command:
thumbor -c /etc/thumbor.conf
Verify that Thumbor is listening on the specified port by running the command below:
netstat -na | grep LISTEN | grep 8888
If everything is okay, you should see output indicating that the port is open.
That's all! You have successfully installed and configured Thumbor on OpenBSD. You can now use it to process images easily.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
