Fussel

Current Status

Fussel is under active development! Recently the project hit a snag when the main caroussel library that fussel is based on was abandoned (https://github.com/jossmac/react-images). I am in the process of attempting to replace it (possibly with: https://github.com/akiran/react-slick), hence the lack of more minor updates recently. I have no timelines as this is a side project for me and I have had limited free time lately but rest assured fussel is still being actively improved.

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 fo 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
