Hey folks of the open source world 👋

I built a self-hosted TinyPNG-style image tool in Docker: compress, convert & resize images (incl. HEIC ➜ JPG/PNG) via a simple web UI. Runs 100% locally for privacy.

This may just be a usecase thing, but what is the advantage of this over imagemagick? I can already magick photo1.jpg -resize 50% photo1.png and when the process ends it's not constantly using resources in a webserver.

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.
