How to Install imgproxy on OpenSUSE Latest?

Imgproxy is an open-source image processing solution that enables on-the-fly image resizing, cropping, and compression. It can be used to serve responsive images that automatically adjust to different screen sizes and resolutions, reducing the bandwidth and load times of web pages.

In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of installing imgproxy on OpenSUSE Latest.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure that you have the following:

• A server running OpenSUSE Latest
• Root access or a user account with sudo privileges
• Basic knowledge of the command line interface

Step 1: Install the Dependencies

First, we need to install the dependencies required by imgproxy. Open the terminal and run the following command as root or with sudo privileges:

zypper install gcc git make automake autoconf libtool pkgconfig openssl-devel pcre-devel

This will install the necessary packages on your system.

Step 2: Download and Compile imgproxy

Next, we need to download the latest version of imgproxy from the GitHub repository and compile it.

1. Clone the imgproxy repository using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/imgproxy/imgproxy.git
   

2. Change the working directory to the imgproxy directory:

   cd imgproxy
   

3. Compile and install imgproxy using the following command:

   make && sudo make install
   

This will compile and install imgproxy on your system.

Step 3: Configure imgproxy

Now that imgproxy has been installed, we need to configure it.

1. Create a configuration file named imgproxy.toml in the /etc/imgproxy/ directory:

   sudo nano /etc/imgproxy/imgproxy.toml
   

2. Copy and paste the following configuration settings into the imgproxy.toml file:

   address = "0.0.0.0:8080"
   
   [processing]
   concurrency = 4
   resolvers = ["8.8.8.8:53", "8.8.4.4:53"]
   
   [healthchecks]
   [healthchecks.tcp]
   address = "127.0.0.1"
   port = 4000
   

   Note: You can modify the address, concurrency, and resolvers settings based on your needs.
3. Save and close the file.

Step 4: Start imgproxy

Finally, we can start imgproxy using the following command:

imgproxy --config /etc/imgproxy/imgproxy.toml

This will start imgproxy on the specified address and port, using the configuration settings in the imgproxy.toml file.
