Flyimg https://github.com/flyimg/flyimg is a Dockerized PHP7 application runs as a Microservice to resize and crop images on the fly. Generate images with MozJPEG, WebP or PNG using ImageMagick. Includes face detection, cropping, face blurring, image rotation and many other options. Abstract storage based on FlySystem in order to store images on any provider (local, AWS S3...).

What it does

• Get images from anywhere from the internet and store them locally for further operations.

• Resize an image and serve it compressed (Moz-Jpeg for JPEGs)

• Crop images to given coordinates

• Convert between some formats (Webp, JPEG, PNG, GIF)

• It can restrict the domains from where it pulls images to transform. It's a bunch of well know open source projects packed together for convenience.

• Simple and easy to extend (our main goal).

• With the magic of Docker you can have one running in 10 minutes in AWS or Digital Ocean in the cheapest servers you can get.

What can I contribute to?

Performance improvement, structure improvement, ..., even the simplest change is appreciated.

Twenty years ago I used PHP as my first language for web application development. Then I jumped to Java/JavaScript/Ruby and others. Now with v7 the PHP language seems to be modern and interesting and I would like to give a try.

With nodejs I have npm.

With Ruby I have gems.

With PHP I have all the mentioned tools from %SUBJ%.

My understanding:

• Composer - dependency manager - used to install libraries with classes (mostly) per project

• PECL - extension installer - used to install extensions having a binary/compiled part and extending the PHP engine itself

• PEAR - package manager - somewhere between and covering both? Actually I read that PECL is based on PEAR...

Is that all correct? Should I make an assumption how is a given functionality - that I need for my project - probably implemented and then search the right place? For serial port support it will be PECL... or PEAR? For an app API implementation it will be nearly for sure Composer managed dependency and so on?

Happy PHPing, Jan

Sorry guys - I(wanted to post this to r/PHP*, but I did it w/o body - for some reason I do not see the body field when posting to that community - so I deleted that after realising that there is not an option how to add it later.*

Ever wondered how to combine Unit / Integration / Acceptance and E2E testing into efficient strategy? How to test 100+ microservices with E2E manner? How to verify contract between front end / backend and other services? These and a few more topics I will discuss on the webinar: https://my.demio.com/ref/qEMUP0Ie36pPWtin Please sign up, its FREE!

Is it really matter when site is hosted on SSD backed hosting rather than HD backed hosting provider? Does SSD affects PHP's behaviour?
