Setting external source as a default source?

[frankfuu]

Thanks for this fork! It's great!

Is there an easy way to set an external source (public read only access to an Azure blob storage location in my case) as the DEFAULT_SOURCE?

I currently have have an environment EXTERNAL_SOURCE_FOO = "https://mylocation.blob.core.windows.net" and this works great but that means I would need to append efoo at the front of every url like http://localhost/efoo/path/to/my/photo.png

I tried modify DEFAULT_SOURCE = S3 to DEFAULT_SOURCE = FOO but visiting http://localhost/path/to/my/photo.png doesn't work

As you can see this repository hasn't been maintained for a while now...

Perhaps you could try these other libvips-based alternatives like:

• https://github.com/weserv/images (*)
• https://github.com/DarthSim/imgproxy
• https://github.com/h2non/imaginary

* They also have a (free) hosted service: https://images.weserv.nl/

hi @teohhanhui, thanks for your suggestions! I'll look into them as an alternative but I actually went ahead and forked your repo and added my personal requirement of add ability to set any external web url as internal url and optionally set it as default.

I also forked your docker build as well while I was at it.

This is my first time writing NodeJS code so it's a bit of a rough job sorry. Not even sure if it's worth a pull request.
