imaginary Build Status Docker Docker Registry Go Report Card Fly.io

Fast HTTP microservice written in Go for high-level image processing backed by bimg and libvips. imaginary can be used as private or public HTTP service for massive image processing with first-class support for Docker & Fly.io. It's almost dependency-free and only uses net/http native package without additional abstractions for better performance.

Supports multiple image operations exposed as a simple HTTP API, with additional optional features such as API token authorization, URL signature protection, HTTP traffic throttle strategy and CORS support for web clients.

imaginary can read images from HTTP POST payloads, server local path or remote HTTP servers, supporting JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIF, and optionally TIFF, PDF, GIF and SVG formats if libvips@8.3+ is compiled with proper library bindings.

imaginary is able to output images as JPEG, PNG and WEBP formats, including transparent conversion across them.

imaginary also optionally supports image placeholder fallback mechanism in case of image processing error or server error of any nature, therefore an image will be always returned by the server in terms of HTTP response body and content MIME type, even in case of error, matching the expected image size and format transparently.

It uses internally libvips, a powerful and efficient library written in C for image processing which requires a low memory footprint and it's typically 4x faster than using the quickest ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick settings or Go native image package, and in some cases it's even 8x faster processing JPEG images.

To get started, take a look the installation steps, usage cases and API docs.

Given the multithreaded native nature of Go, in terms of CPUs, most cores means more concurrency and therefore, a better performance can be achieved. From the other hand, in terms of memory, 512MB of RAM is usually enough for small services with low concurrency (<5 requests/second). Up to 2GB for high-load HTTP service processing potentially large images or exposed to an eventual high concurrency.

If you need to expose imaginary as public HTTP server, it's highly recommended to protect the service against DDoS-like attacks. imaginary has built-in support for HTTP concurrency throttle strategy to deal with this in a more convenient way and mitigate possible issues limiting the number of concurrent requests per second and caching the awaiting requests, if necessary.

Production notes

In production focused environments it's highly recommended to enable the HTTP concurrency throttle strategy in your imaginary servers.

The recommended concurrency limit per server to guarantee a good performance is up to 20 requests per second.

You can enable it simply passing a flag to the binary:

$ imaginary -concurrency 20
Graceful shutdown

When you use a cluster, it is necessary to control how the deployment is executed, and it is very useful to finish the containers in a controlled.

You can use the next command:

$ ps auxw | grep 'bin/imaginary' | awk 'NR>1{print buf}{buf = $2}' | xargs kill -TERM > /dev/null 2>&1
Scalability

If you're looking for a large scale solution for massive image processing, you should scale imaginary horizontally, distributing the HTTP load across a pool of imaginary servers.

Assuming that you want to provide a high availability to deal efficiently with, let's say, 100 concurrent req/sec, a good approach would be using a front end balancer (e.g: HAProxy) to delegate the traffic control flow, ensure the quality of service and distribution the HTTP across a pool of servers:

        |==============|
        |  Dark World  |
        |==============|
              ||||
        |==============|

Conclusions

imaginary can deal efficiently with up to 20 request per second running in a multicore machine, where it crops a JPEG image of 5MB and spending per each request less than 100 ms

The most expensive image operation under high concurrency scenarios (> 20 req/sec) is the image enlargement, which requires a considerable amount of math operations to scale the original image. In this kind of operation the required processing time usually grows over the time if you're stressing the server continuously. The advice here is as simple as taking care about the number of concurrent enlarge operations to avoid server performance bottlenecks.

                            Or can use the environment variable GOLANG_LOG=info.

Start the server in a custom port:

imaginary -p 8080

Also, you can pass the port as environment variable:

PORT=8080 imaginary

Enable HTTP server throttle strategy (max 10 requests/second):

imaginary -p 8080 -concurrency 10

Enable remote URL image fetching (then you can do GET request passing the url=http://server.com/image.jpg query param):

imaginary -p 8080 -enable-url-source

Mount local directory (then you can do GET request passing the file=image.jpg query param):

imaginary -p 8080 -mount ~/images

Enable authorization header forwarding to image origin server. X-Forward-Authorization or Authorization (by priority) header value will be forwarded as Authorization header to the target origin server, if one of those headers are present in the incoming HTTP request. Security tip: secure your server from public access to prevent attack vectors when enabling this option:

imaginary -p 8080 -enable-url-source -enable-auth-forwarding

Or alternatively you can manually define an constant Authorization header value that will be always sent when fetching images from remote image origins. If defined, X-Forward-Authorization or Authorization headers won't be forwarded, and therefore ignored, if present. Note:

imaginary -p 8080 -enable-url-source -authorization "Bearer s3cr3t"

Send fixed caching headers in the response. The headers can be set in either "cache nothing" or "cache for N seconds". By specifying 0 imaginary will send the "don't cache" headers, otherwise it sends headers with a TTL. The following example informs the client to cache the result for 1 year:

imaginary -p 8080 -enable-url-source -http-cache-ttl 31556926

Enable placeholder image HTTP responses in case of server error/bad request. The placeholder image will be dynamically and transparently resized matching the expected image widthxheight define in the HTTP request params. Also, the placeholder image will be also transparently converted to the desired image type defined in the HTTP request params, so the API contract should be maintained as much better as possible.

This feature is particularly useful when using imaginary as public HTTP service consumed by Web clients. In case of error, the appropriate HTTP status code will be used to reflect the error, and the error details will be exposed serialized as JSON in the Error response HTTP header, for further inspection and convenience for API clients.

imaginary -p 8080 -enable-placeholder -enable-url-source

You can optionally use a custom placeholder image. Since the placeholder image should fit a variety of different sizes, it's recommended to use a large image, such as 1200x1200. Supported custom placeholder image types are: JPEG, PNG and WEBP.

imaginary -p 8080 -placeholder=placeholder.jpg -enable-url-source

Enable URL signature (URL-safe Base64-encoded HMAC digest).

This feature is particularly useful to protect against multiple image operations attacks and to verify the requester identity.

imaginary -p 8080 -enable-url-signature -url-signature-key 4f46feebafc4b5e988f131c4ff8b5997

It is recommanded to pass key as environment variables:

URL_SIGNATURE_KEY=4f46feebafc4b5e988f131c4ff8b5997 imaginary -p 8080 -enable-url-signature

Increase libvips threads concurrency (experimental):

VIPS_CONCURRENCY=10 imaginary -p 8080 -concurrency 10

Enable debug mode:

DEBUG=* imaginary -p 8080

Or filter debug output by package:

DEBUG=imaginary imaginary -p 8080

Disable info logs:

GOLANG_LOG=error imaginary -p 8080
Examples

Reading a local image (you must pass the -mount=<directory> flag):

curl -O "http://localhost:8088/crop?width=500&height=400&file=foo/bar/image.jpg"

Fetching the image from a remote server (you must pass the -enable-url-source flag):

curl -O "http://localhost:8088/crop?width=500&height=400&url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/h2non/imaginary/master/testdata/large.jpg"

Crop behaviour can be influenced with the gravity parameter. You can specify a preference for a certain region (north, south, etc.). To enable Smart Crop you can specify the value "smart" to autodetect the most interesting section to consider as center point for the crop operation:

curl -O "http://localhost:8088/crop?width=500&height=200&gravity=smart&url=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/h2non/imaginary/master/testdata/smart-crop.jpg"
Playground

imaginary exposes an ugly HTML form for playground purposes in: http://localhost:8088/form

HTTP API

Allowed Origins

imaginary can be configured to block all requests for images with a src URL this is not specified in the allowed-origins list. Imaginary will validate that the remote url matches the hostname and path of at least one origin in allowed list. Perhaps the easiest way to show how this works is to show some examples.

allowed-origins setting image url is valid
--allowed-origins s3.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/ s3.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/images/image.png VALID
--allowed-origins s3.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/ s3.amazonaws.com/images/image.png NOT VALID (no matching basepath)
--allowed-origins s3.amazonaws.com/some-* s3.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/images/image.png VALID
--allowed-origins *.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/ anysubdomain.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/images/image.png VALID
--allowed-origins *.amazonaws.com anysubdomain.amazonaws.comimages/image.png VALID
--allowed-origins *.amazonaws.com www.notaws.comimages/image.png NOT VALID (no matching host)
--allowed-origins *.amazonaws.com, foo.amazonaws.com/some-bucket/ bar.amazonaws.com/some-other-bucket/image.png VALID (matches first condition but not second)
Authorization

imaginary supports a simple token-based API authorization. To enable it, you should pass the -key flag to the binary.

API token can be defined as HTTP header (API-Key) or query param (key).

Example request with API key:

POST /crop HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:8088
API-Key: secret
URL signature

The URL signature is provided by the sign request parameter.

The HMAC-SHA256 hash is created by taking the URL path (including the leading /), the request parameters (alphabetically-sorted and concatenated with & into a string). The hash is then base64url-encoded.

Here an example in Go:

signKey  := "4f46feebafc4b5e988f131c4ff8b5997"
urlPath  := "/resize"
urlQuery := "file=image.jpg&height=200&type=jpeg&width=300"

h := hmac.New(sha256.New, []byte(signKey))
h.Write([]byte(urlPath))
h.Write([]byte(urlQuery))
buf := h.Sum(nil)

fmt.Println("sign=" + base64.RawURLEncoding.EncodeToString(buf))
Errors

imaginary will always reply with the proper HTTP status code and JSON body with error details.

Here an example response error when the payload is empty:

{
  "message": "Cannot read payload: no such file",
  "code": 1
}

See all the predefined supported errors here.

Placeholder

If -enable-placeholder or -placeholder <image path> flags are passed to imaginary, a placeholder image will be used in case of error or invalid request input.

If -enable-placeholder is passed, the default imaginary placeholder image will be used, however you can customized it via -placeholder flag, loading a custom compatible image from the file system.

Since imaginary has been partially designed to be used as public HTTP service, including web pages, in certain scenarios the response MIME type must be respected, so the server will always reply with a placeholder image in case of error, such as image processing error, read error, payload error, request invalid request or any other.

You can customize the placeholder image passing the -placeholder <image path> flag when starting imaginary.

In this scenarios, the error message details will be exposed in the Error response header field as JSON for further inspection from API clients.

In some edge cases the placeholder image resizing might fail, so a 400 Bad Request will be used as response status and the Content-Type will be application/json with the proper message info. Note that this scenario won't be common.

Form data

If you're pushing images to imaginary as multipart/form-data (you can do it as well as image/*), you must define at least one input field called file with the raw image data in order to be processed properly by imaginary.

GET | POST /pipeline

Accepts: image/*, multipart/form-data. Content-Type: image/*

This endpoint allow the user to declare a pipeline of multiple independent image transformation operations all in a single HTTP request.

Note: a maximum of 10 independent operations are current allowed within the same HTTP request.

Internally, it operates pretty much as a sequential reducer pattern chain, where given an input image and a set of operations, for each independent image operation iteration, the output result image will be passed to the next one, as the accumulated result, until finishing all the operations.

In imperative programming, this would be pretty much analog to the following code:

var image
for operation in operations {
  image = operation.Run(image, operation.Options)
}
Allowed params
  • operations json required - URL safe encoded JSON with a list of operations. See below for interface details.
  • file string - Only GET method and if the -mount flag is present
  • url string - Only GET method and if the -enable-url-source flag is present
Operations JSON specification

Self-documented JSON operation schema:

[
  {
    "operation": string, // Operation name identifier. Required.
    "ignore_failure": boolean, // Ignore error in case of failure and continue with the next operation. Optional.
    "params": map[string]mixed, // Object defining operation specific image transformation params, same as supported URL query params per each endpoint.
  }
]
Supported operations names
Example
[
  {
    "operation": "crop",
    "params": {
      "width": 500,
      "height": 300
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "watermark",
    "params": {
      "text": "I need some covfete",
      "font": "Verdana",
      "textwidth": 100,
      "opacity": 0.8
    }
  },
  {
    "operation": "rotate",
    "params": {
      "rotate": 180

Logging

Imaginary uses an apache compatible log format.

Fluentd log ingestion

You can ingest Imaginary logs with fluentd using the following fluentd config :

# use your own tag name (*.imaginary for this example)
<filter *.imaginary>
    @type parser
    key_name log
    reserve_data true

    <parse>
        @type multi_format
        # access logs parser
        <pattern>
            format regexp
            expression /^[^ ]* [^ ]* [^ ]* \[(?<time>[^\]]*)\] "(?<method>\S+)(?: +(?<path>[^ ]*) +\S*)?" (?<code>[^ ]*) (?<size>[^ ]*) (?<response_time>[^ ]*)$/
            types code:integer,size:integer,response_time:float
            time_key time
            time_format %d/%b/%Y %H:%M:%S
        </pattern>
        # warnings / error logs parser
        <pattern>
            format none
            message_key message
        </pattern>
    </parse>
</filter>

<match *.imaginary>
    @type rewrite_tag_filter

    # Logs with code field are access logs, and logs without are error logs
    <rule>
        key code
        pattern ^.+$
        tag ${tag}.access
    </rule>
    <rule>
        key code
        pattern ^.+$
        invert true
        tag ${tag}.error
    </rule>
</match>

In the end, access records are tagged with *.imaginary.access, and warning / error records are tagged with *.imaginary.error.
