SinatraFly

A very simple app (using Sinatra) and dragonfly to resize existing (publicly accessible) images based on the URL.

This site should only be used behind a CDN. That way the the images are only resized once.

Setup

git clone git@github.com:andycroll/sinatra-fly.git
cd sinatra-fly

Set an environment variable 'BASE_URL' (in .env in development). This is the only domain that can be a source for images.

Use

This app expects urls in the format:

appname.herokuapp.com/400x/path/on/source/domain/image.jpg appname.herokuapp.com/x400/path/on/source/domain/image.jpg appname.herokuapp.com/400x300/path/on/source/domain/image.jpg

Run Locally

bundle
foreman start

The site will be available at localhost:5000.

The root path will show an 'Alive' message.

Deploy

This app should only be deployed with a CDN in front of the application to make a solid use of caching. The resized images will not be cached by this app.
