• Debian 11 is approaching its end-of-life (vendor EOL date - August 31, 2026). Plesk Obsidian 18.0.80 will be the last release to support it.
    If you are running Plesk Obsidian on Debian 11, we recommend you upgrade those servers to Debian 12 using our dist-upgrade tool.
  • We plan to deprecate and remove the support for XML RPC protocol versions earlier than 1.6.9.1 in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.82. We strongly recommend that you update all existing integrations using earlier versions of the XML RPC protocol to comply with the version 1.6.9.1 specification.

Question Server Automatic Image Compression

Pentarou

Basic Pleskian
Hello,

How do I configure my Plesk server to automatically compress images from my self-hosted CDN?

Thank you in advance!
 
I suppose that this can be reached with some special WordPress plugins for your WordPress sites hosted on Plesk.
 
Hello IgorG, and thank you kindly for your reply.

I'm currently using a WordPress plugin to do just that, but it's doing a lousy job at it, because they all want me to pay an annual bill for processing all the images on their servers. I am looking for an open source tool that I can run on my own server that automatically compresses image files or my self-hosted CDN.

I'm thinking about using a tool like jpegoptim and cronjobs,

0 2 * * 0 lockrun -Q -L .lockjpegoptim -- find <path> -iname *.jpg -exec jpegoptim --strip-all -p {} \;
0 3 * * 0 lockrun -Q -L .lockoptipng -- find <path> -iname *.png -exec optipng -o7 -preserve {} \;

This cron should only affect .JPG en .PNG images modified in the last 7 days that are stored in my CDN, so the original should be preserved.
