I have begun seeking a means to manage or configure ImageMagick though some kind of orchestrator rather than through bash and was wondering does such a thing exist already?


I also think shell scripts are not the right language for complex things. In my JavaScript IM library https://github ...

I mocked up an example configuration for myself, however I have noticed that it's very specific for my use case, so I'm unsure if it's be easy to make this more generic in order to give it a wider use case. - It might be best for me to just make a mini one for my use case specifically but posted the ...

I have begun seeking a means to manage or configure ImageMagick though some kind of orchestrator rather than through bash and was wondering does such a thing exist already?

My current use case is the for a repository for emotes:
https://gitlab.com/Elypia/elypia-emotes

I am using CI and ...

I've been trying this again with a friend who has noted what may be wrong:

The updated Dockerfile:

FROM gcc:9.1.0 AS builder
RUN wget https://imagemagick.org/download/ImageMagick.tar.gz && \
tar xvzf ImageMagick.tar.gz && \
cd ImageMagick-7.0.8-49 && \
./configure \
--prefix=/home/imagemagick ...

I apologies, just want to check, so if I understand, there may be files outside of the 5 directories (bin/etc/include/lib/share) that are required of ImageMagick?
No, as far as I know, IM's make doesn't create any files outside of those directories, ie the tree you defined by "prefix=".

I ...

...it works perfectly if I used ImageMagick from where it was installed in the GCC image, but when ImageMagick is then moved to another image, I seem to get a different problem.
Perhaps the IM programs need other files, eg in the lib directory, and they certainly need the xml files.


I ...

Ignore this, posted a new message instead of editing the previous. (Not sure how to delete it.)

This question seems to be about building IM, and entirely unrelated to the thread, so I'm moving it to a new thread.

Sorry, I know nothing about Docker, Alpine etc.

Whenever I attempt to do a command for example `/home/imagemagick/bin/identify --version`, it just says the command "...: not ...

By default, ImageMagick supports HDRI which requires floating-point pixel components. If you build ImageMagick without HDRI support (add --disable-HDRI to your configure script command-line), you get unsigned pixels and will likely result in a substantial speed-up.


Sorry but may I seek advice ...

magick: unable to open image '\(':
"magick" should not see the backslash. In normal use it would be stripped by the bash interpreter, but not when it is inside a variable.

I suggest you read how and when bash processes escapes, and expands variables. I think the problem is that you escape the ...

You can speed it up by writing all sizes from one image in one command line rather than re-reading the input for each size. See https://imagemagick.org/Usage/files/#write


Thank you for the advice, I managed to get this working with sizes only earlier making a huge difference from 2.5 minutes to ...

I have a repository on GitLab dedicated to emotes, it uses CI to take the original emotes and masks and exports them all in various colors and sizes.

May I ask based on the setup does anyone have a solution that may speed up the build time for these emotes however, even if just by seconds?
The file ...

Thank you very much!
As you advised I used "magick" instead of "convert", and I reordered the arguments. I also used -clip-mask {} and then +clip-mask after applying the hue which is all the mask was for. (Not sure if this was possible with convert/-mask?)

The emotes are coming out exactly as ...

I'm currently working with an artist on a set of emotes at https://gitlab.com/Elypia/elypia-emotes
I was hoping he could make/export the 512px emotes, and then using ImageMagick I could automatically resize smaller versions of it for convenience and using the masks in the mask directory dictate when ...
