Usage

Command-line flags:

When using the fotomat server, options affecting how the server behaves and resources it will eat:

-fetch_timeout duration
    How long to wait to receive original image from source (0=disable). (default 30s)
-listen string
    [IP]:port to listen for incoming connections. (default "127.0.0.1:3520")
-local_image_directory string
    Enable local image serving from this path (""=proxy instead).
-max_buffer_pixels int
    Maximum number of pixels to allocate for an intermediate image buffer. (default 6500000)
-max_connections int
    The maximum number of incoming connections allowed. (default 65536)
-max_image_threads int
    Maximum number of threads simultaneously processing images (0=all CPUs). (default 12)
-max_prefetch int
    Maximum number of images to prefetch before thread is available. (default 12)
-max_processing_duration duration
    Maximum duration we can be processing an image before assuming we crashed (0=disable). (default 1m0s)
-max_queue_duration duration
    Maximum delay of pre-image-fetch queue before returning error (0=disable). (default 10s)
-version
    Show version and exit.

And controlling the generated images:

-fast_resize
    Allow faster resizing, at lower image quality in some cases.
-lossless
    Allow saving as PNG even without transparency. (default true)
-lossless_webp
    When saving in WebP, allow lossless encoding.
-lossy_if_photo
    Save as lossy if image is detected as a photo. (default true)
-max_output_dimension int
    Maximum width or height of an image response. (default 2048)
-sharpen
    Sharpen after resize.

Notes:

  • Listening on IPv4 localhost on port 3520. Specify -listen=:3520 to listen for remote connections. IPv6 is supported.

  • Proxy mode, where the image is fetched from the host supplied in the Host header via http port 80. If you want to disable proxy mode and serve files from a local directory instead, pass -local_image_directory=/some/path.

  • Only allocating image buffers that are at most 6,500,000 pixels (width * height). It can read larger JPEGs than this because it scale them down by a factor of 8 when decoding.

  • Allowing as many VIPS threads to be running as the machine has physical CPU cores. Raising this probably won't increase throughput, but lowering it may reduce memory usage.

  • Allowing output images to be up to 2048 x 2048. Raising this will allow larger images, eat more RAM, and be slower.

  • Limiting a single VIPS operation to 1 minute, after which it assumes it has hit a VIPS bug and crashes the process. Raise this if actual image operations take longer.
