Description

It would be useful to implement the ability to use federated avatars ( https://libravatar.org/ , a libre Gravatar-like service ), similar to the way Gitea/Forgejo does it. They use this library: https://github.com/gogs/go-libravatar .

Once the library is imported, you can use it like so:

import "strk.kbt.io/projects/go/libravatar"
avt := libravatar.New()
avatar_url := avt.FromEmail("person@example.com")

My use case is I run my own libravatar server for the services that run inside my SSO network. It's working with Gitea & several other services I run. Other people may use the public libravatar service.

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?

As an alternative, since libravatar is compatible with Gravatar-format HTTP requests, you can enable a configurable gravatar/libravatar URL. As a bonus, libravatar can fallback to Gravatar itself.

For instance, currntly you have www.gravatar.com hardcoded

req, err := http.NewRequestWithContext(context.Background(), http.MethodGet, "https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/"+utils.Md5String(strings.ToLower(user.Email))+"?s="+sizeString+"&d=mp", nil)

But you could have it as a variable, so the user could configure the grvatar/libravatar URL to be any compatible gravatar/libravatar service, with default of www.gravatar.com.

https://www.gravatar.com

https://libravatar.org

https://avatars.example.com

  # Possible new setting.

I tried with the second method & it works fine. I'll make a pull request tomorrow in case you're interested. Time for sleep.
