Framework-agnostic Ruby Gem for imgproxy with support for Ruby on Rails' most popular image attachment options

imgproxy.rb

GH Test GH Lint Gem rubydoc.org

imgproxy is a fast and secure standalone server for resizing and converting remote images. The main principles of imgproxy are simplicity, speed, and security. It is a Go application, ready to be installed and used in any Unix environment—also ready to be containerized using Docker.

imgproxy can be used to provide a fast and secure way to get rid of all the image resizing code in your web application (like calling ImageMagick or GraphicsMagick, or using libraries), while also being able to resize everything on the fly on a separate server that only you control. imgproxy is fast, easy to use, and requires zero processing power or storage from the main application. imgproxy is indispensable when handling image resizing of epic proportions, especially when original images are coming from a remote source.

imgproxy.rb is a framework-agnostic Ruby Gem for imgproxy that includes proper support for Ruby on Rails' most popular image attachment options: Active Storage and Shrine.

NOTE: this readme shows documentation for 2.x version. For version 1.x see the v1.2.0 tag. See 2.0-Upgrade.md for the upgrade guide.

Installation

Add this to your Gemfile:

gem "imgproxy"

or install system-wide:

gem install imgproxy

Configuration

imgproxy.rb uses anyway_config to load configuration, so you can configure it in different ways.

  • With a separate config file:
# <Rails root>/config/imgproxy.yml
development:
  # Full URL to where your imgproxy lives.
  endpoint: "http://imgproxy.example.com"
  # Hex-encoded signature key and salt
  key: "your_key"
  salt: "your_salt"
production: ...
test: ...
  • With a secrets.yml entry for imgproxy:
# secrets.yml
production:
  ...
  imgproxy:
    # Full URL to where your imgproxy lives.
    endpoint: "http://imgproxy.example.com"
    # Hex-encoded signature key and salt
    key: "your_key"
    salt: "your_salt"
...
  • With environment variables:
IMGPROXY_ENDPOINT="http://imgproxy.example.com"\
IMGPROXY_KEY="your_key"\
IMGPROXY_SALT="your_salt"\
rails s
  • ...or right in your application code:
# config/initializers/imgproxy.rb

Imgproxy.configure do |config|
  # Full URL to where your imgproxy lives.
  config.endpoint = "http://imgproxy.example.com"
  # Hex-encoded signature key and salt
  config.key = "your_key"
  config.salt = "your_salt"
end

  • shrine_host (IMGPROXY_SHRINE_HOST) - Shrine host for locally stored files.

Usage

Using with Active Storage

imgproxy.rb comes with the Active Storage support built-in. It is enabled automagically if you load imgproxy gem after rails (basically, just put gem "imgproxy" after gem "rails" in your Gemfile). Otherwise, modify your initializer at config/initializers/imgproxy.rb:

# config/initializers/imgproxy.rb

Imgproxy.extend_active_storage!

Now, to add imgproxy processing to your image attachments, just use the imgproxy_url method:

user.avatar.imgproxy_url(width: 250, height: 250)

This method will return an URL to your user's avatar, resized to 250x250px on the fly.

Amazon S3

If you have configured both your imgproxy server and Active Storage to work with Amazon S3, you can use use_s3_urls config option (or IMGPROXY_USE_S3_URLS env variable) to make imgproxy.rb use short s3://... source URLs instead of long ones generated by Rails.

Google Cloud Storage

You can also enable gs://... URLs usage for the files stored in Google Cloud Storage with use_gcs_urls and gcs_bucket config options (or IMGPROXY_USE_GCS_URLS and IMGPROXY_GCS_BUCKET env variables).

NOTE that you need to explicitly provide GCS bucket name since Active Storage "hides" the GCS config.

Using with Shrine

You can also use imgproxy.rb's built-in Shrine support. It is enabled automagically if you load imgproxy gem after shrine (basically, just put gem "imgproxy" after gem "shrine" in your Gemfile). Otherwise, modify your initializer at config/initializers/imgproxy.rb:

# config/initializers/imgproxy.rb

Imgproxy.extend_shrine!

Now you can use imgproxy_url method of Shrine::UploadedFile:

user.avatar.imgproxy_url(width: 250, height: 250)

This method will return an URL to your user's avatar, resized to 250x250px on the fly.

NOTE: If you use Shrine::Storage::FileSystem as storage, uploaded file URLs won't include the hostname, so imgproxy server won't be able to access them. To fix this, use shrine_host config.

Alternatively, you can launch your imgproxy server with the IMGPROXY_BASE_URL setting:

IMGPROXY_BASE_URL="http://your-host.test" imgproxy

Amazon S3

If you have configured both your imgproxy server and Shrine to work with Amazon S3, you can use use_s3_urls config option (or IMGPROXY_USE_S3_URLS env variable) to make imgproxy.rb use short s3://... source URLs instead of long ones generated by Shrine.

Usage imgproxy.rb in a framework-agnostic way

If you use another gem for your attachment operations, you like to keep things minimal or Rails-free, or if you want to generate imgproxy URLs for pictures that did not originate from your application, you can use the Imgproxy.url_for method:

Imgproxy.url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  width: 500,
  height: 400,
  resizing_type: :fill,
  sharpen: 0.5
)
# => http://imgproxy.example.com/2tjGMpWqjO/rs:fill:500:400/sh:0.5/plain/http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg

You can reuse processing options by using Imgproxy::Builder:

builder = Imgproxy::Builder.new(
  width: 500,
  height: 400,
  resizing_type: :fill,
  sharpen: 0.5
)

builder.url_for("http://images.example.com/images/image1.jpg")
builder.url_for("http://images.example.com/images/image2.jpg")

Supported imgproxy processing options

See imgproxy URL format guide for more info.

Complex processing options

Some of the processing options like crop or gravity may have multiple arguments, and you can define these arguments multiple ways:

Named arguments

First and the most readable way is to use a Hash with named arguments:

Imgproxy.url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  crop: {
    width: 500,
    height: 600,
    gravity: {
      type: :nowe,
      x_offset: 10,
      y_offset: 5
    }
  }
)
# => .../c:500:600:nowe:10:5/...

All the arguments have the same names as in imgproxy documentation.

You can use named arguments even if the processing option is not supported by the gem. In this case the arguments won't be reordered nor formatted, so you should provide them in the same order and right the same way they should appear in the URL:

Imgproxy.url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  unsupported: {
    arg1: 1,
    nested1: {
      arg2: 2,
      nested2: {
        arg3: 3
      }
    }
  }
)
# => .../unsupported:1:2:3/...

Unnamed arguments

The arguments of the complex options can be provided as an array of formatted values or even as a colon-separated string:

Imgproxy.url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  crop: [500, 600, :nowe, 10, 5],
  trim: "10:aabbcc:1:1"
)
# => .../c:500:600:nowe:10:5/t:10:aabbcc:1:1/...

Single required argument

If a complex option has a single required argument, and you don't want to use the optional ones, you can just use its value:

Imgproxy.url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  gravity: :nowe,
  trim: 10
)
# => .../g:nowe/t:10/...

Base64 processing options arguments

Some of the processing options like watermark_url or style require their arguments to be base64-encoded. Good news is that imgproxy gem will encode them for you:

Imgproxy.url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  watermark_url: "http://example.com/watermark.jpg",
  style: "color: rgba(255, 255, 255, .5)"
)
# => .../wmu:aHR0cDovL2V4YW1wbGUuY29tL3dhdGVybWFyay5qcGc/st:Y29sb3I6IHJnYmEoMjU1LCAyNTUsIDI1NSwgLjUp/...

Special options:

  • base64_encode_url — per-call redefinition of base64_encode_urls config.
  • escape_plain_url — per-call redefinition of always_escape_plain_urls config.
  • use_short_options — per-call redefinition of use_short_options config.
  • encrypt_source_url - (pro) per-call redefinition of always_encrypt_source_urls config.
  • source_url_encryption_iv - (pro) an initialization vector (IV) to be used for the source URL encryption if encryption is needed. If not specified, a random IV is used.

Getting the image info

If you're a happy user of imgproxy Pro, you may find useful it's Getting the image info feature. imgproxy.rb allows you to easily generate info URLs for your images:

# Framework-agnositic way
Imgproxy.info_url_for("http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg")
# Using Active Storage or Shrine
user.avatar.imgproxy_info_url

# You can also use base64_encode_url or escape_plain_url options
Imgproxy.info_url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  base64_encode_url: true
)
Imgproxy.info_url_for(
  "http://images.example.com/images/image.jpg",
  escape_plain_url: true
)

URL adapters

By default, Imgproxy.url_for accepts only String and URI as the source URL, but you can extend that behavior by using URL adapters.

URL adapter is a simple class that implements applicable? and url methods. See the example below:

class MyItemAdapter
  # `applicable?` checks if the adapter can extract
  # source URL from the provided object
  def applicable?(item)
    item.is_a? MyItem
  end

  # `url` extracts source URL from the provided object
  def url(item)
    item.image_url
  end
end

# ...

Imgproxy.configure do |config|
  config.url_adapters.add MyItemAdapter.new
end

NOTE: Imgproxy will use the first applicable URL adapter. If you need to add your adapter to the beginning of the list, use the prepend method instead of add.

NOTE: imgproxy.rb provides built-in adapters for Active Storage and Shrine that are automatically added when Active Storage or Shrine support is enabled.

Custom services

If you use more than one instance of imgproxy and they have different endpoints and key/salt configurations you can specify them in services option.

Imgproxy.configure do |config|
  config.endpoint = "https://main.imgproxy.com/"
  config.service(:pro) do |pro|
    pro.endpoint = "https://pro.imgproxy.com/"
    pro.key = ENV["IMGPROXY_PRO_KEY"]
    pro.salt = ENV["IMGPROXY_PRO_SALT"]
    pro.source_url_encryption_key = ENV["IMGPROXY_PRO_ENCRYPTION_KEY"]
    pro.always_encrypt_source_urls = true
  end
end

Or via YAML config:

endpoint: "https://main.imgproxy.com/"
services:
  pro:
    endpoint: "https://pro.imgproxy.com/"
    key: <%= ENV["IMGPROXY_PRO_KEY"] %>
    salt: <%= ENV["IMGPROXY_PRO_SALT"] %>
    source_url_encryption_key: ENV["IMGPROXY_PRO_ENCRYPTION_KEY"]
    always_encrypt_source_urls: true

If you don't specify key, salt, endpoint, signature_size, source_url_encryption_key, or always_encrypt_source_urls, they are inherited from the global configuration.

Pass the service option to url_for and info_url_for:

Imgproxy.url_for(image, service: :pro)
Imgproxy.info_url_for(image, service: :pro)
