Ogre (Open Graph Ruby Encoder) is a proof of concept app for generating custom og:image metadata images dynamically on a per user basis e.g.
This is a Sinatra application, so you'll need to know a bit of Ruby-Fu to get it working. There are a couple of dependencies:
- ImageMagick® and GraphicsMagick image processing libraries must be installed, and
- You must have a url2png account (please set the
api_keyandprivate_keyenvironment variables).
git clone https://github.com/leereilly/ogre.git
cd ogre
bundle install
ruby ogre.rb
Hitting http://localhost:4567/leereilly will generate the image to be used for the og:image metadata:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://localhost:4567/leereilly" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="1200" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="620" />

- This is a proof-of-concept.
- It won't scale.
- Do not use this in production.
- It is 100%
bugfree.
