Deploy and Host Image Optimiser and Resizer on Railway

Image Optimiser and Resizer is a lightweight, self-hosted image optimization tool built with Bun and Sharp.js. Upload any image through a clean, mobile-responsive web UI and convert it to WebP, resize it, or do both in one step — with instant downloads and a built-in history panel.

About Hosting Image Optimiser and Resizer

Hosting Image Optimiser and Resizer requires a runtime that supports Bun and the Sharp native image processing library. The app runs as a single containerized service using an Alpine-based Docker image with vips for native image manipulation. It serves a static frontend alongside a Bun-powered API server that handles uploads, processing, and file delivery. No database or external services are required — optimization history is stored in a local JSON file, and processed images are saved to disk with automatic cleanup every 24 hours. Built-in rate limiting prevents abuse, making it production-ready out of the box.
