image8

image8 resizes images on-the-fly and stores them in couchdb for later retrival and easy replication. image8 should be used behind a varnish or squid. image8 uses rmagick. must be served with thin, because of its async nature.

config.ru

require "image8"
Image8.couchdb = "http://127.0.0.1:5984/image8"
run Image8

usage

the url

http://image8/200x250/http://ny.ti/some/image.jpg

produces an image no larger than 200x250 pixels in size. scales proportionality.

misc

this has only been tested on ruby 1.9.1.

the name of the different functions (max, resize, crop) etc are a bit misleading at the moment. will be fixed in the future.
