Hosting images.weserv.nl on your own server

The image proxy is free for use to anyone, and we offer it as-is, it’s just basic image resizing, available to anyone, easy to use. We try to keep everyone as happy as we can.

If you’re however interested in running the source code yourself, and use the service internally, the source code is hosted here:

https://github.com/weserv/images

The whole system is written in Lua since API 4 (API 3 was in PHP). Images.weserv.nl utilizes NGINX for caching and OpenResty to perform well under excessive load.
