Bash Script to generate static web galleries. No server-side programs (i.e. PHP, MySQL) required.
gallery.sh is simple bash shell script which generates static html thumbnail (image, photo) galleries using the convert and jhead command-line utilities.
It requires no special server-side script to run to view image galleries because everything is pre-rendered.
It offers several features:
- Responsive layout
- Thumbnails which fill the browser efficiently
- Download the original image file
- Nice and simple Bootstrap CSS layout
- Locally previewable galleries by accessing images locally (e.g. file:///home/nils/pics/gallery/index.html)
- JPEG header EXIF data extraction
- Auto-rotation of veritcal images
This combination of features makes a better user experience than pretty much all the big online photo hosts. All you need is a place to host your plain html and jpeg files. This can also be Amazon S3.
- ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) for the
convertutility. - JHead (http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/) for EXIF data extraction
On a debian-based system (Ubuntu), just run apt-get install imagemagick jhead as root.
Under macOS you can install it with MacPort (https://www.macports.org/): sudo port install imagemagick jhead
gallery.sh [-t <title>] [-h]
gallery.sh works in the current directory. Just load the index.html in a browser see the output.
The directory should contain a bunch of JPEG (.jpg or .JPG) files. It does not work recursively. ZIP files (.zip or .ZIP) and movies (.mov, .MOV, .mp4 or .MP4) are also considered. They appear as a download button in the gallery.
