Overview
In the Omeka S module “IIIF Server,” which generates IIIF manifests, you can configure settings to not use the Image API. This makes it easier to deliver IIIF manifests in resource-limited environments such as rental servers.
I previously wrote the following article:

As of May 2022, the configuration method has changed due to module updates, so I am writing this article about the updated settings. For the advantages and disadvantages of not using the Image API, please refer to the article above.
Configuration Method
The verified environment is as follows:
- Omeka S version 3.2.0
- IIIF Server version 3.6.6.6
Find “IIIF Server” in the module list and click the “Configure” button.
On the destination page, scroll to the bottom to find “External image server” > “Default IIIF image api version.” By selecting the “No image server” option as shown below, you can generate manifest files without using the Image API.
Summary
I hope this article serves as a useful reference for those running Omeka in resource-limited environments such as rental servers, where tile image generation takes too long.
