What is imgpush?
imgpush is a lightweight self-hosted image hosting service for applications that accept user-uploaded images such as avatars. It provides a single API endpoint for uploads, automatically converts images to a chosen format, and resizes them on demand via URL parameters. The service includes per-IP rate limits, allowed-origin whitelisting, a liveness endpoint for health checks, and an authenticated delete API. Images are stored locally by default, with optional support for S3-compatible object storage using a local disk cache for fast serving. It runs as a Docker container on port 5000 and can be deployed to Kubernetes with the provided manifests. The project is open source under the MIT license with no paid tiers.
