MultiPath #

Starting from version 0.9.9, we’re supporting multipath, thanks to contribution by @bugfest ❤️.

If you’d like to use multiple path for serving different images, you can use the new config.json format. You can specify additional paths mappings under IMG_MAP dict.

IMG_MAP’s keys are URIs or Hosts names will be translated to their corresponding mapped value. It works in two different modes:

• URI map: Keys have the form /.*
• Host map: Keys have the form http?s://.*

Keys not matching this format will be ignored

The values can be:

• Relative path to the current work directory
• Absolute path
• Remote HTTP or HTTPS host

Example:

{
  "HOST": "127.0.0.1",
  "PORT": "3333",
  "IMG_PATH": "./pics",
  "EXHAUST_PATH": "./exhaust",
  "IMG_MAP": {
    "/2": "./pics2",
    "/3": "./pics3",
    "http://www.example.com": "https://docs.webp.sh"
  },
  "ALLOWED_TYPES": ["jpg","png","jpeg"],
  "ENABLE_AVIF": false,
  "ENABLE_EXTRA_PARAMS": false
}

For example, you have some images under ./pics, ./pics2 and ./pics3, as below:

• ./pics contains 1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg
• ./pics2 contains example.png
• ./pics3 contains webp_server.jpg
• https://docs.webp.sh is a valid web service reachable by the local instance; hosts /favicon.png

Then you can access them via:

• http://localhost:3333/1.jpg, http://localhost:3333/2.jpg, http://localhost:3333/3.jpg
• http://localhost:3333/2/example.png
• http://localhost:3333/3/webp_server.jpg
• http://www.example.com/favicon.png

For the last example to work you need to pass the Host header as part of the request. If you use curl you can test it with the command curl -H 'Host: www.example.com' http://localhost:3333/favicon.png
