Run processing in a cloud server
Hello, I created a sketch that receives a PImage and then pixelates it. I would like to have this on a server so that I can use this tool in a browser or in an iOS / Android app where they only submit the image to the server and receive the image in response... Is this possible with processing? Or should i replicate everything on Imagemagick ?
Thanks!

Barely know anything about servers! X_X
But IMHO, you're better off re-writing your sketch in JS using p5.js. >-)
For example, you can use p5.Element::drop() method in order to get an image.
Then display it pixelated! *-:) Here's an online drop() sample: :bz
@ashenfield -- is there user interaction? How complicated is the pixelation -- do you add other elements to the image?
If all you are doing is pixelating and you want to offer it as a web service, that is one line of code in imagemagick, and runs out-of-the-box on many cloud machines. Imagemagick will almost certainly be easier than Processing / p5 to cloud host as a service -- especially if you are already familiar with it.

But if you are looking to do something interactive or fancy, or both, you will very quickly hit the limits of what imagemagick can do.
Thanks @GoToLoop, will check that out, maybe i can just do a web app and show it using WebViews on both Android and iOS...
@jeremydouglass, I thought of using Imagemagick but for that I'll need to setup something like apache + php + imagemagick, create the whole web app, etc, which will take a little bit of time. But that will most probably be the path I'll take.
There's also simpleHTTPServer. Dunno whether it's enough for the task though: 8-|
