Thumbor 7

I’m happy to announce the newest version of thumbor 7.0.0! It got release a while ago, but I didn’t had time to update my docker images mvhirsch/thumber since then. This weekend I finally spent time updating the whole image, rebuilding it from scratch to make it even more lightweight - reducing the size nearly to half (comparing 6-slim (770 MB) to 7:slim (390 MB)).

I managed to make it smaller by fixing some issues and dropping ffmpeg from the base image. That said, ffmpeg isn’t needed by default, since it’s only used by the gifv-optimizer, which itself isn’t enabled by default. If you want to use the thumbor.optimizer.gifv, you can just add it yourself by building your own docker image and activate gifv:

FROM mvhirsch/thumbor:7-slim

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install --yes --quiet --no-install-recommends ffmpeg \
    && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \

ENV OPTIMIZERS "['thumbor.optimizers.jpegtran', 'thumbor.optimizer.gifv']"

The newest versions are already available to download. Feel free to use them:

• mvhirsch/thumbor:7-slim
• mvhirsch/thumbor:7-alpine
• mvhirsch/thumbor:7-fundamentals

As always mvhirsch/thubmor:7-fundamentals comes pre-configured with an AWS S3 storage and pnquant and mozjpeg. pngquant and mozjpeg are the recommended image optimizers for the web, reducing file size without quality loss.

If you experience any issues, don’t hesitate and raise an issue on github.
