Documentation | Website | Blog

This is a Server based on Golang, which allows you to serve WebP images on the fly.

Currently supported image format: JPEG, PNG, BMP, GIF, SVG, HEIC

e.g When you visit https://your.website/pics/tsuki.jpg，it will serve as image/webp format without changing the URL.

Usage with Docker(recommended)

We strongly recommend using Docker to run WebP Server Go because running it directly with the binary may encounter issues with glibc and some dependency libraries, which can be quite tricky to resolve.

Make sure you've got Docker and docker-compose installed, create a directory and create docker-compose.yml file inside it like this:

version: '3'

services:
  webp:
    image: webpsh/webp-server-go
    # image: ghcr.io/webp-sh/webp_server_go
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1
    volumes:
      - ./path/to/pics:/opt/pics
      - ./exhaust:/opt/exhaust
      - ./metadata:/opt/metadata
    ports:
      -  127.0.0.1:3333:3333

Suppose your website and image has the following pattern.

Image Path Website Path
/var/www/img.webp.sh/path/tsuki.jpg https://img.webp.sh/path/tsuki.jpg

Then

  • ./path/to/pics should be changed to /var/www/img.webp.sh
  • ./exhaust is cache folder for output images, by default it will be in exhaust directory alongside with docker-compose.yml file, if you'd like to keep cached images in another folder, you can change ./exhaust to /some/other/path/to/exhaust
  • ./metadata is cache folder for images' metadata, by default it will be in metadata directory alongside with docker-compose.yml file

Start the container using:

docker-compose up -d

Now the server should be running on 127.0.0.1:3333, visiting http://127.0.0.1:3333/path/tsuki.jpg will see the optimized version of /var/www/img.webp.sh/path/tsuki.jpg, you can now add reverse proxy to make it public, for example, let Nginx to proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3333/;, and your WebP Server is on-the-fly!

Custom config

If you'd like to use a customized config.json, you can follow the steps in Basic Usage to genereate one, and mount it into the container's /etc/config.json, example docker-compose.yml as follows:

version: '3'

services:
  webp:
    image: webpsh/webp-server-go
    # image: ghcr.io/webp-sh/webp_server_go
    restart: always
    environment:
      - MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=1
      # - LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libjemalloc.so.2
      # - LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4.5.6
    volumes:
      - ./path/to/pics:/opt/pics
      - ./path/to/exhaust:/opt/exhaust
      - ./path/to/metadata:/opt/metadata
      - ./config.json:/etc/config.json
    ports:
      -  127.0.0.1:3333:3333
    deploy:
      resources:
        limits:
          memory: 400M
    memswap_limit: 400M

You can refer to Docker | WebP Server Documentation for more info, such as custom config, AVIF support etc.

Advanced Usage

If you'd like to use with binary, please consult to Use with Binary(Advanced) | WebP Server Documentation

spoiler alert: you may encounter issues with glibc and some dependency libraries.

For supervisor or detailed Nginx configuration, please read our documentation at https://docs.webp.sh/
