High-performance dynamic image server in Java
[https://medusa-project.github.io/cantaloupe/] (https://medusa-project.github.io/cantaloupe/)
This is a very-quick-start guide. The user manual at the website above is the primary source of documentation.
The only requirement is Java 8; either the Oracle JRE or OpenJDK will work. Optional components, such as particular processors, may have additional requirements; see the user manual.
The distribution archive bundles a sample configuration file, named
cantaloupe.properties.sample. Make a copy and open it in an editor. Set
FilesystemResolver.BasicLookupStrategy.path_prefix to a folder path
containing some images, and leave all the other options alone.
From the command prompt (OS X/Linux):
java -Dcantaloupe.config=/path/to/cantaloupe.properties -Xmx2g -jar Cantaloupe-x.x.x.war
From the command prompt (Windows):
java -Dcantaloupe.config=C:\path\to\cantaloupe.properties -Xmx2g -jar Cantaloupe-x.x.x.war
Then, assuming you have an image named image.tif, try accessing:
- http://localhost:8182/iiif/2/image.tif/info.json
- http://localhost:8182/iiif/2/image.tif/0,0,200,200/full/0/default.jpg
