Imgproxy is an advanced image processing server designed to be fast, flexible and easy to integrate into your existing infrastructure. This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Imgproxy on OpenBSD.
Before starting, make sure you have the following:
Imgproxy depends on the following libraries, make sure they are installed on your system:
To install the libraries, run the following command:
sudo pkg_add libvips libjpeg-turbo libwebp giflib libpng
Download the latest version of Imgproxy from the official website:
curl -L https://github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy/releases/download/v3.0.0/imgproxy-v3.0.0-openbsd-amd64.tar.gz -o imgproxy.tar.gz
Extract the contents of the file:
tar -xzf imgproxy.tar.gz
Create a new configuration file called imgproxy.toml:
sudo touch /etc/imgproxy.toml
Add the following configurations to the file:
addr = ":8080"
[log]
level = "info"
[[presets]]
name = "small"
width = 320
height = 240
position = "top"
[[presets]]
name = "medium"
width = 640
height = 480
position = "top"
[[presets]]
name = "large"
width = 1024
height = 768
position = "top"
Note: You may customize the presets as per your requirements.
Start Imgproxy using the following command:
sudo ./imgproxy
Imgproxy should now be running on port 8080.
To confirm that Imgproxy is working, open your browser and type the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/unsafe/320x240/www.example.com/image.png
This should display the resized image.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed Imgproxy on OpenBSD.
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!
