Dockerized Pilbox

This project provides a docker image for the awesome Pilbox image proxy. Which we use in production to convert images on the fly. From the Plibox project page:

Pilbox is an image processing application server built on Python’s Tornado web framework using the Python Imaging Library (Pillow). It is not intended to be the primary source of images, but instead acts as a proxy which requests images and resizes them as desired.

Run as Service

The example below is a typical image proxy service definition in a docker-compose.yml file for deployment under Docker-Swarm or just locally with docker-dompose.

  imageproxy:
    image: lovelysystems/docker-pilbox:1.3.300
    command:
      - "--client_key=somesharedsecret"
      - "--implicit_base_url=https://www.lovelysystems.com/"
    ports:
      - "8888:8888"

Run as Container

To run just start the container with optional arguments like this:

docker run --rm lovelysystems/docker-pilbox:dev

Developer Notes
