Galldir galldir

The idea of this project is a photo gallery that is entirely driven from the filesystem - no databases, no image upload interfaces, (almost) no configuration.

Each directory within the filesystem is considered to be an album with all image files within the directory being photos in the album. Albums may be nested.

Each album has a human-readable name that is generated from the name of its directory. This can be overridden by a text file called .title within the directory.

Albums are displayed in date order, most recent first. The date of an album is taken from the modification date of its directory, but this can be overridden by a text file called .date within the directory that contains the album's time in the format YYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss. This is required when using S3 that does not have directories per se.

Installation

go get github.com/jamesfcarter/galldir/cmd/galldir

Invocation

galldir requires two arguments: the address to listen on and the directory of pictures to serve:

galldir -addr :3000 -dir ~/pictures

It is also possible to serve pictures from an S3 bucket:

galldir -addr :3000 -dir https://s3.eu-central-1.wasabisys.com/examplebucket

In both cases, browsing to http://localhost:3000/ would reach the gallery.
