high-performance media processing engine for on-the-fly image transformations and storage.

Project description

morphosx banner

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.
