Posting image to account via local file

[mattwillz]

Hey, I was trying to post an image to an account, and it works but only when using a link to an image. Instead, I want to be able to post an image to an account through a local file, but I am unable to do so. I have tried the following code, and also tried using a local server, and then doing something like localhost:8888/image.jpeg, but this didn't work either. I've found one similar question to this, but couldn't find a suitable answer that worked for me, any support is appreciated, here is the code I tried:

const Instagram = require('instagram-web-api');
const { username, password } = require("./config.json");
const client = new Instagram({ username, password });

  const photo = "./image.jpeg";
  
  client.login().then(async() => {
      const { media } = await client.uploadPhoto({ photo: photo, caption: 'testing', post: 'feed' });
      console.log(`https://www.instagram.com/p/${media.code}/`);
  })

Additionally, the error I get when using this code is the following:

(node:78848) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: StatusCodeError: 400 - "{\"debug_info\":{\"retriable\":false,\"type\":\"ProcessingFailedError\",\"message\":\"Request processing failed\"}}"

`const Instagram = require('instagram-web-api');
const fs = require ('fs');
const { username, password } = require("./config.json");
const client = new Instagram({ username, password });

const photo = fs.readFileSync("./image.jpeg");

client.login().then(async() => {
const { media } = await client.uploadPhoto({ photo: photo, caption: 'testing', post: 'feed' });
console.log(https://www.instagram.com/p/${media.code}/);
})`

also, be sure that the image ratio is 1:1
