⁠Tags

nodeN-libvipsV, where N is the Node.js major version number (14, 16, 17, 18, or 19) and V is the libvips version (currently only 8.14.1). For example, to use Node.js v14 with libvips v8.14.1, use the shivjm/node-libvips:node14-libvips8.14.1 image. No latest image is provided.

See the full list of tags on Docker Hub.⁠

⁠Optional libvips features enabled

• libjpeg
• libexif
• librsvg
• cgif (installed from bookworm repository)
• libtiff
• fftw3
• lcms2
• libimagequant
• orc-0.4
• libwebp
• libheif

libopenjp2 is installed but doesn’t appear to be recognized, so JPEG2000 images probably aren’t supported.

Improvements welcome.

⁠Example

With a Node project whose package.json includes sharp as a dependency:

# If you need to create a new Node project.
mkdir my-new-project
cd my-new-project
npm init -y

# To install sharp and save it in the project’s dependencies.
npm install -S sharp

Dockerfile:

FROM shivjm/node-libvips:node16-libvips8.14.1

# First install the dependencies.

COPY package.json package-lock.json ./

RUN npm ci

# Then copy the code.

COPY . ./

CMD ["node", "index.js"]
