Frequently
Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about deploying and using Openinary.
How do I deploy Openinary with Docker?
Openinary is fully Dockerized and can be deployed on any infrastructure. No external dependencies required - it works with any S3-compatible storage.
- Clone the repository and configure environment variables.
- Run docker-compose up or deploy to your preferred container platform.
- Configure S3-compatible storage (like Cloudflare R2) - detailed instructions in our documentation.
What are the costs of self-hosting?
The self-hosted version is completely free under AGPL 3.0 license. You only pay for your own infrastructure costs (server, storage). Optionally use S3-compatible storage like Cloudflare R2 for optimized performance. For most projects, this typically costs just a few dollars per month.
How does Openinary compare to Cloudinary?
Openinary provides the core features of Cloudinary but as an open source, self-hostable solution. You get image transformations, API uploads, and edge delivery without vendor lock-in or enterprise pricing.
- Full control over your media infrastructure
- No usage limits beyond what you configure
- Transparent, AGPL 3.0-licensed codebase you can modify/contribute to
When will the Cloud version be available?
We're currently focused on adding features to the open source version. The managed Cloud offering is planned for the future, but we don't have a specific timeline yet. Follow our GitHub repository for updates on development progress.
What image and video formats are supported?
Openinary supports common web formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP) for images and video processing via FFmpeg. On-the-fly transformations include resizing, cropping, format conversion, quality optimization, and video transcoding. All transformations happen via API for maximum flexibility.
