I found the image server, in the spirit of using your device for fun and interesting things (say nothing of privacy).. Why would you need the online converter, if you selfhost the image-server?

(potential customer here, but wanna use it not for pictures but for "daily status")

The images need to be processed before they can be shown:

• Cropping

• Scaling

• Contrast + brightness adjustment

• Compression

That is what the online converter provides.

But I get your point. I will add example code on how to convert an image on your local machine.

I would like if you could just set a url pattern that sent over some device specific id and the resolution as parameters and it would poll it on some configurable frequency.
