Ask HN: Best Self-Hosted, Server-Side Image Optimization Tools?

Compressing images is extremely important for web performance. There are several desktop apps (e.g., ImageOptim, Trimage, ImageAlpha) and web services (e.g., TinyPNG, Kraken, Cloudinary, Imgix, CompressPNG, ImageOptim) that perform optimizations.

Thumbor (http://thumbor.org/ ) is a tool that can be installed locally in an application architecture. However, it is focused on cropping & resizing, though it can also transcode to WebP and call external optimizers.

What is the most complete solution you are aware of that compresses & optimizes png, jpeg, and webp and can be operated on a server? It should not only be able to optimize as part of the build process but also in response to user-generated content.
