Heroku 20 + 22 buildpack for Imagemagick 7.1, webp, and heif

This is a Heroku buildpack for vendoring the ImageMagick with WebP and HEIF support binaries into your project.

This buildpack works with BOTH Heroku stack heroku-20 and heroku-22.

Usage

Add this buildpack to your app:

heroku buildpacks:add https://github.com/alois-gaucher/heroku-buildpack-imagemagick-webp -i 1 -a <app name>

And add it into your app.json:

  "buildpacks": [
    {
      "url": "https://github.com/alois-gaucher/heroku-buildpack-imagemagick-webp"
    },
    {
      "url": "heroku/ruby"
    }
  ],

Sample apps and demonstration

See folder test/sample_app for an example app and instructions for deploying it to heroku-22 or heroku-20 stacks.

How it works?

When you use this buildpack it unpacks a pre-built build/imagemagick.tar.gz file into your Heroku application's /./vendor folder and sets up the relevant environment variables.

If you were to run a Heroku bash session you can investigate the dependencies:

$ heroku run -a <appname> bash

~ $ convert -version

Build script

To update the dependencies you have the following steps:

1. Update the Dockerfile

2. Re-build the build/imagemagick.tar.gz file

   ./build.sh (Builds Dockerfile.22 by default)
   

   ./build.sh 20 (To build Dockerfile.20)
   

3. Git the changes, including the tar.gz file, and push to your fork

4. Purge your Heroku application's cache

   heroku builds:cache:purge
   

5. Redeploy your application via the Heroku dashboard, or push a new commit.
