# Ego
Ego is a simple Rails based web application that transforms an input of one-two letters into a square image showing those letters.
This is primarily used as an image source for a gravitar-missing fallback.
### Usage
Start the webserver:
```
export CACHE_PATH=/tmp/cache
bundle exec rails s -b 0.0.0.0
```
Then from your browser, navigate to:
`http://localhost:3000/generate/ab/size/30`
You will then see a simple un-styled image of the initials `AB`
#### ImageMagick Dependency
Note that this requires `ImageMagick` libraries to run (as it uses `ImageMagick` to generate the image)
On OSX you can use homebrew to install ImageMagick with the command:
```
brew install imagemagick@6
```
The Dockerfile in this project defines the dependency installations for running in a container.
