🚀 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

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. Retrieving & Processing

All GET requests must be signed using HMAC-SHA256.

GET /v1/assets/my-image.jpg?width=300&format=webp&signature=HASH

---

✨ Smart Presets

Use predefined aliases for cleaner URLs:

• preset=thumb: 150x150 WebP.
• preset=hero: 1920px WebP.
• preset=social: 1200x630 JPEG.
• preset=preview: 400px PNG.

🛡️ Advanced Security

Morphosx uses HMAC-SHA256 to prevent DoS attacks and unauthorized manipulation. The signature payload includes: asset_id | width | height | format | quality | preset | user_id.
