WebP - server support

[Peter Knight]

Is anyone here using WEBP as their output image format and what is your server / environment setup?

 I know there's support for it in PW lately and decided to investigate.

Found it quite difficult to do this on a practical level. IE My current VPS is Cent OS 6 and Plesk and unless I'm wrong, WEBP is not supported by either.

Which host and setup are you on that allows you to run WebP?

I'm using it on on multiple Linux servers with Apache configuration. Haven't done any other special updates to make it work, for what I understand if PHP has GD/imagemagick enabled it should all work.

Where I have not being able to configure it is on mixed nginx+apache configurations (like on Runcloud) because static assets are delivered by nginx rather than apache, so I just haven't had time to figure out how that would work. (using the htaccess configuration for delivering webp)

What issues have you encountered? I'm not sure I understand why CentOS/Plesk wouldn't support it.

@Peter Knight Plesk support for Webp is coming shortly: https://support.plesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360012609933-Do-Plesk-PHP-packages-have-WebP-support-

Just a general lack of support out of the box as @jacmaes mentioned.
