node-libvips is a docker image which has Node.js and globally-installed libvips. libvips is a popular image processing library which is used by many npm modules like sharp. libvips in node-libvips is compiled with libimagequant and giflib support on top of default libraries.
node-libvips provides all the options or settings which is offered by official node docker image node:14.9-buster. The only difference is having globally installed and custom compiled libvips with additional image libraries.
The node-libvips docker image is served from a public repository in Docker Hub. You can get it by running :
docker pull uguraslan/node-libvips:latestThe usage of node-libvips is identical to the official node docker images. Because node-libvips only installs a global system library.
FROM uguraslan/node-libvips:latest
# set working directory
WORKDIR /home/node/app
# copy your project code
COPY . /home/node/app
# install dependencies [yarn also exists in the image]
RUN npm install
# start running your project with node or npm
CMD ["node", "index.js"]- Node.js - 14.9
- libvips - 8.10.1
- libimagequant
- libgif
The experimental version is build by using the official node:14.9-buster-slim image to reduce the size of resulted image. Also in addition to libimagequant and libgif, some other extra/optional libraries/features are compiled with libvips. This version is labelled as experimental just because it has not been extensively tested in a production environment.
Enabled features :
file import/export with libpng: yes
support 8bpp PNG quantisation: yes
file import/export with libtiff: yes
file import/export with giflib: yes
file import/export with libjpeg: yes
image pyramid export: yes
use libexif to load/save JPEG metadata: yes
The experimental image can be pulled via :
docker pull uguraslan/node-libvips:experimental
