Demo
Setup
Requirements
- Python 3
- Node + Yarn
Install dependencies
Site Generator
pip install -r requirements.txt
Node Frontend
cd web
yarn install
cd ../
Setup Site
Configure
- Copy
.env.example
to.env
- Edit
.env
to your needs (minimal change is to set INPUT_PATH)
Curate photos
The folder you point INPUT_PATH at, must have albums in subfolders inside it with the folder names as the name of the albums you want in the gallery. Any further-nested folders will be ignored.
Example
If you have your .env setup with:
INPUT_PATH = /home/user/Photos/gallery
Then that path should look like this:
/home/user/Photos/gallery:
- Album 1
- Album 2
- Album 3
- ...
Generate your site
Run the following script to generate your site into web/build
folder.
./generate_site.sh
Host your site
Point your web server at web/build
or copy/upload the web/build
folder to your web host HTTP root.
Quick setup
After running generate_site.sh
python -m http.server --directory web/build
(go to localhost:8000 in browser)
Development setup
cd web
yarn start
Docker
If you don't want to fuss with anything and would like to use docker instead to generate your site...
Usage
Required:
/my-input-folder
is the absolute path to top-level photo folder/my-output-folder
is the absolute path to where you want the generated site written to
Note: The two -e env variables PGID and PUID tells the container what to set the output folder permissions to once done. Otherwise it is set to root permissions
docker run \
-e PGID=$(id -g) \
-e PUID=$(id -u) \
-v /my-input-folder:/input:ro \
-v /my-output-folder:/fussel/web/build \
cbenning/fussel:latest
Optional:
You can provide any value found in the .env.sample file in a docker env variable using -e MYVAR=THING
docker run \
-e PGID=$(id -g) \
-e PUID=$(id -u) \
-v /my-input-folder:/input:ro \
-v /my-output-folder:/fussel/web/build \
-e HTTP_ROOT=/my/alternate/path \
-e WATERMARK_ENABLE=false \
cbenning/fussel:latest
Once complete you can upload the output folder to your webserver, or see what it looks like with
python -m http.server --directory /my-output-folder
