echo "alias img-optimize=$HOME/.img-optimize/optimize.sh" >> $HOME/.bashrc
source $HOME/.bashrc
Method 2 : Copy the script in /usr/local/bin
With this method img-optimize can be used by all users
sudo cp $HOME/.img-optimize/optimize.sh /usr/local/bin/img-optimize
Usage: img-optimize [options] <images path>
If images path is empty, img-optimize will use the current directory
Options:
--jpg <images path> ..... optimize all jpg images
--png <images path> ..... optimize all png images
--webp <images path> ..... convert all images in webp
--nowebp <images path> ..... optimize all png & jpg images
--all <images path> ..... optimize all images (png + jpg + webp)
-i, --interactive ... run img-optimize in interactive mode
Other options :
-h, --help, help ... displays this help information
Example:
optimize all jpg images in /var/www/images
img-optimize --jpg /var/www/images
To update the script, just run :
git -C $HOME/.img-optimize pull
If you previously used the 2nd install method, you have to copy the script again to update it
sudo cp $HOME/.img-optimize/optimize.sh /usr/local/bin/img-optimize -f
You copy the scripts to /etc/cron.daily :
cp $HOME/.img-optimize/crons/jpg-png-cron.sh /etc/cron.daily/jpg-png-cron
cp $HOME/.img-optimize/crons/jpg-png-cron.sh /etc/cron.daily/webp-cron
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/jpg-png-cron
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/webp-cron
Then just edit your websites path set with the variables sites
at the beginning of the cron scripts.
Conversion process can take a while, you can use tmux
to launch the script and be able to close your ssh connection without interrupting conversion. Then just use tmux attach
to login back in your tmux session.
