Cortx images
2020 cortx hackathon.
cortx is an open source s3 compatible storage server.

What is Images api?
The idea is to create an api on top of cortx to handle images optimization, basically an alternative to platforms like cloudinary, and provide open source solution for the community to use.
What is CORTX?
CORTX is a distributed object storage system designed for great efficiency, massive capacity, and high HDD-utilization. CORTX is 100% Open Source
How do CORTX and Images API work together?
Because CORTX is S3 compatible we can use the storage system and the Images API feature to serve images in different sizes.
Configuring Images API to work with CORTX:
Step 0: set environment variable, you can set it on the os level or create an .env file and set the variable in it, the variable needed is: aws_access_key_id, aws_secret_access_key, bucket_name, endpoint_url, api_key
Step 1: assuming you have python 3 installed, pip3 install -r requirements.txt
Step 1: python3 api.py
if you prefer to use docker, there is a docker file ready in the project repo
Usage
GET /images/{filename} // return original image
GET /images/120x120/{filename} // return resized image, with=120, height=120
GET / // return html page with the demo
- resized images will be stored for future use.
