Serving local files

imgproxy can be configured to process files from your local filesystem. To use this feature, do the following:

  1. Set IMGPROXY_LOCAL_FILESYSTEM_ROOT environment variable to your local images directory path.
  2. Use local:///path/to/image.jpg as the source image URL.

Example​

Assume you want to process an image that is stored locally at /path/to/project/images/logos/imgproxy.png. Run imgproxy with IMGPROXY_LOCAL_FILESYSTEM_ROOT set to your images directory:

IMGPROXY_LOCAL_FILESYSTEM_ROOT=/path/to/project/images imgproxy

Then, use the path inside this directory as the source URL:

local:///logos/imgproxy.png

The URL for resizing this image to fit 300x200 will look like this:

http://imgproxy.example.com/insecure/rs:fit:300:200:no:0/plain/local:///logos/imgproxy.png@jpg
