htz-ms-gif2webp

A dockerized miscroservice for converting (animated) gifs to webp

USAGE

To build a deployment-ready docker image, run

docker build --rm -t htz-ms-gif2webp

The container runs an Express server, which is exposed on port 3000 and can convert animated gif images (and other video formats) to animated webp images.

To run the container:

doker run -d -p <public-port>:3000 --restart=always htz-ms-gif2webp

QUERY PARAM API

• source - A url pointing to the source file to be converted
  • example1: https://gif2webp.haaretz.co.il/?source=https://foo.com/bar.gif
  • example2: https://gif2webp.haaretz.co.il/?source=https://foo.com/bar.mp4
  • note: It is much faster to convert actual video files into animated webp than it is to transcode animated gif files, so it is preferable to provide an mp4 file as source whenever possible.
• debug - Will print debug information to the server console when set to true. Prints url of converted file and timing information.

DEVELOPMENT

yarn start runs the Express server locally. By default it runs on port 3000 and host localhost, which can both be overridden with the PORT and HOST env variable, e.g.,

HOST="foo.bar.com" PORT="8080" yarn start
