About these scores

OSS scale score is an unbounded metric that log-compresses and weights Stars, Watchers, Forks, and Contributors. Discovery score is the current OSS scale score minus the score at discovery. Update pace is commits in the last 30 days, growth momentum is the OSS scale score difference within the recent observation window, and OSS health is a 0–100 rating based on available recency, Community Health, and release data.

Overview

Openinary is a self-hostable media processing platform that performs image and video resizing, cropping, format conversion, and optimization from URL parameters while integrating S3-compatible storage and asset management.

Features and best fit

Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:

Transform images and videos on demand through URL parameters

Width, height, crop, gravity, format, quality, video seek, and clip operations can be expressed directly in transformation URLs.

Sources: [2][3]

Combine S3/R2 storage with automatic caching

AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, MinIO, and other S3-compatible backends can store assets while transformation outputs are cached.

Sources: [2][3]

For teams wanting Cloudinary-style media APIs on owned infrastructure

It fits applications that need programmable image/video transformation while keeping processing and storage self-hosted.

Sources: [2]

Account for pre-v1 compatibility and mixed licensing

The README warns that backward compatibility is not guaranteed before v1.0, and apps/cloud/ uses a commercial license.

Sources: [2][4][5]

Supplemental curator note

The self-hosted product is AGPL-3.0, but `apps/cloud/` in the same repository uses the Openinary Commercial License and may not be run in production without written agreement; `apps/marketing/` is MIT. The repository is therefore recorded as `NOASSERTION`. Self-hosting does not require `apps/cloud/`.
