Is there a way to use gifsicle in AWS lambda? I know there is a package called pygifsicle, but it seems it requires the gifsicle version of AWS Linux 2?
I don't see a binary built for RedHat version of gifsicle
So my questions are,
Do I need to build one for AWS Linux 2 to use it along with pygifsicle? Even if I build gifsicle for AWS Linux 2, how to use it along with pygifsicle?
As I read the documentation you can build one binary for Building Gifsicle on UNIX and can package that with your lambda zip file which can be called as a normal command in lambda function.
Like it is being called in the pygifsicle
subprocess.call(["gifsicle", *options, *sources, "--colors",
str(colors), "--output", destination])
My Dockerfile where I'm building it from the source.
FROM public.ecr.aws/lambda/python:3.8-arm64
RUN yum -y install install make gcc wget gzip
RUN wget https://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/gifsicle-1.93.tar.gz
RUN tar -xzf gifsicle-1.93.tar.gz
RUN cd gifsicle-1.93 && \
./configure && \
make && \
make install
COPY requirements.txt ./
RUN yum update -y && \
pip install -r requirements.txt
COPY . .
CMD ["app.handler"]
