On-demand image resize server based on 'express'
1: assuming you have proper node 0.8.x installed
2: user that runs the server is 'mkimage'
3: set desired settings in
config
directory
# install imagemagick
sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends build-essential imagemagick
# clone the repo
git clone git://github.com/Boxee/mkimage-server.git
# install node dependencies
cd mkimage-server && npm install
# create `cache_dir`
mkdir -p /mnt/cache/mkimage-server
chown mkimage.mkimage /mnt/cache/mkimage-server
# run it (in production)
NODE_ENV=production bin/mkimage
##CreativeLive specific setup in Ngninx setup
add to cdn.creativelive.com
location ~* ^/(fill|fit|crop|chop)/ {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://mkserver;
proxy_redirect off;
}
add to creativelive.com
upstream mkserver {
server 127.0.0.1:3020;
}
location ~* ^/(fill|fit|crop|chop)/ {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;

}
Haproxy will need to redirect those same routes fill/, fit/, and crop/ to whatever server is running the mkimage-server.
url
- the url of remote image to be converted (and cached)w
- width of resized imageh
- height of resized imageq
- quality of resized image (default is 92)
the
url
parameter must be encoded, otherwise unexpected behaviour may occur.
- the url
http://www.google.com/images/icons/product/apps-128.png
- becomes
http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fimages%2Ficons%2Fproduct%2Fapps-128.png
Note: lib/oldapi.js
is actually the new API, don't let it fool you.
