high-performance media processing engine for on-the-fly image transformations and storage.
Project description
morphosx 🧬
High performance, low footprint.
Self-hosted, open-source media engine for on-the-fly image processing and delivery.
morphosx is a high-speed, minimal cloud storage and media manipulation server. It converts almost any media type into a optimized, web-ready image derivative on-the-fly.
⚡ Core Features
- User-Bound Security: Protected assets and HMAC signatures tied to specific JWT-authenticated users.
- Private Folders: Secure per-user storage using the
users/{user_id}/path convention. - Universal Rendering: Support for BIM (IFC), 3D (STL/OBJ/GLB), Office, Font Specimen, Archives, Video, Audio and RAW.
- Modern Engines: Choice between Pillow and PyVips (ultra-fast).
- Cloud Ready: Pluggable storage system (Local & Amazon S3).
🚀 Installation & Deployment
1. Using Docker (Recommended)
The easiest way to run Morphosx with all features and system dependencies pre-installed.
docker run -p 6100:6100 --env-file .env ghcr.io/dcdavidev/morphosx:latest
2. Using pip (from PyPI)
You can install Morphosx as a library or a standalone CLI tool.
# Core installation (standard images only)
pip install morphosx
# Full installation (all media types support)
pip install "morphosx[full]"
# Selective installation
pip install "morphosx[video,pdf,3d]"
Note: Some extras require system libraries (e.g., ffmpeg for video, libvips for vips engine).
📖 Usage Guide
Start the Server
If installed via pip, you can use the global command:
morphosx start --port 6100 --reload
1. Uploading Assets
Public Upload
curl -X POST "http://localhost:6100/v1/assets/upload?folder=news" -F "file=@img.jpg"
Private Upload
curl -X POST "http://localhost:6100/v1/assets/upload?private=true" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>" -F "file=@secret.pdf"
2. Listing Files
GET /v1/assets/list/originals/news
✨ Smart Presets
Use predefined aliases in settings.py for cleaner URLs:
preset=thumb: 150x150 WebP.preset=hero: 1920px WebP.preset=social: 1200x630 JPEG.
🛡️ Advanced Security
Morphosx uses HMAC-SHA256 to prevent DoS attacks.
The signature payload includes: asset_id | width | height | format | quality | preset | user_id.
