Aigis

You are looking at the README for the Aigis binary. If you want to run Aigis as apart of a Rust library you should use this instead.

A simple and configurable content proxy aimed at websites that want to embed image and video content from external sources whilst protecting user privacy.

Notice

Aigis is a hobby project, is not considered production ready, and has an unstable API. Anything about it including features, functionality and performance is subject to rapid change until stablised. This project is designed with my own infrastructure and needs in mind and may not be a perfect fit for yours. Be sure to look at other options such as imageproxy or ImageWizard as well!

Features

  • Proxy endpoint image resizing and format changing via query parameters.
  • Upstream request caching that respects Cache-Control headers.
  • Content-Type allow-list.
  • 'Embed' endpoint that turns OpenGraph meta tags into a JSON format for use in frontend applications that embed content.
  • Improved format of request errors.
  • Subdomain wildcard support for --proxy-allowed-domains

Installing

Docker

An official Docker image is published to GHCR upon every release and is the recommended way to run the server.

Assuming you have Docker or another container tool installed locally simply run the following (replace <tag> with the version you would like to use).

docker run --name aigis -p 3005:3005 ghcr.io/blooym/aigis:<tag>

Cargo

Assuming you already have Cargo installed locally you can simply run following to compile the binary yourself:

cargo install aigis-bin

Configuration

Aigis is configured via command-line flags or environment variables and has full support for configuration information from.env files. Below is a list of all supported configuration options. You can also run aigis --help to get an up-to-date including default values.

Upstream request timeout The maximum lifetime of an upstream request before it is forcefully terminated (in seconds) --upstream-request-timeout AIGIS_UPSTEAM_REQUEST_TIMEOUT
Upstream max redirects The maximum amount of redirects to follow when making upstream requests --upstream-max-redirects AIGIS_UPSTREAM_MAX_REDIRECTS
