### Custom Avatar Service
// TODO
BookStack has had built-in [Gravatar](https://en.gravatar.com/) support for a while to enable
unique user profile images upon user creation. This system has been revamped so the URL used to
fetch an avatar can be customized as required. This allows you to customize the URL used for gravatar
or you can instead use a different avatar service altogether. For example, By setting the below option
in your `.env` file you can instead use libravatar:
```bash
AVATAR_URL=https://seccdn.libravatar.org/avatar/${hash}?s=${size}&d=identicon
```
The following variables can be used in this setting which will be populated by BookStack when used:
* `${email}` - The user's email address, URL encoded.
* `${hash}` - MD5 hashed copy of the user's email address.
* `${size}` - BookStack's ideal requested image size in pixels.
Thanks to [@Vinrobot](https://github.com/BookStackApp/BookStack/pull/1111) for working to implement this feature.
