EquineExchange.ImageHosting is a simple image host backed by Azure Blob Storage and ImageResizer. It's sufficient to be used as-is for development and test environments where user load isn't a concern, but for production use you should put it behind a CDN.
This site is meant to be used as-is with little to no customization.
The license, AzureReader2, and other basic settings are loaded from appSettings so you're able to configure them in the Azure Portal.
| Name | Default value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| app:imageResizer.license | The ImageResizer license | |
| app:azureReader.connectionString | StorageConnectionString | The name of the connection string or the actual connection string to use |
| app:azureReader.prefix | ~/m | The virtual folder all resize requests should use, anything outside here won't hit blob storage |
| app:azureReader.redirectToBlobIfUnmodified | false | Since this is meant to be the source of a CDN there's no reason to redirect here |
| app:azureReader.requireImageExtension | true | Helps ensure the right content type is served to the client |
| app:azureReader.untrustedData | true | Re-encodes all the images to help limit malicious uploads from possibly harming your users |
| app:diskCache.enabled | false | Turns the DiskCache plugin on or off |
| app:diskCache.asyncWrites | true | Enables writing to disk via an async call |
When setting up Application Insights the environment variable APPINSIGHTS_INSTRUMENTATIONKEY is usually added to your App Service.
If this settings exists then Application Insights will light up and start logging.

</configuration>Under the ImageResizer licensing model you will need to purchase a license even if you comply with their OSS license. The reason for needing a license is we've chosen to use the NuGet packages instead of compiling our own assemblies, this means the license checks are still in place and the red dot will show in the bottom right corner. There's a new OSS license that costs $7/year (you may need to contact them about purchasing it) which is a fair trade off for not having to maintain our own fork without the checks.
