如何安装和设置Thumbor

Question

I found an image hosting python project on the internet named thumbor , I believe its self-hosted, and their documentation is pretty straightforward. I didn't get all the process required to install and set up the server and start hosting images through API.

if anyone setted up this service before, please help me, guide me through the process, please!

of if u guys know any free image hosting and CDN service, you can suggest me. like cloudinary, but a little more free to use, coz I need to develop a simple user management site!

Answer 1

I have recently used thumbor for personal projects : The easiest step to get thumbor working is to clone the repo from GitHub ,

Install it using setup.py & then start it using the command

thumbor -p 8000 

this will help you start the server at port number 8000 & then you can serve the requests using

http://<thumbor-server>:PORT_NUMBER/300x200/smart/s.glbimg.com/et/bb/f/original/2011/03/24/VN0JiwzmOw0b0lg.jpg

I hope this helps you. In case you are stuck, feel free to ask.
