# gallery.sh [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/Cyclenerd/gallery_shell.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/Cyclenerd/gallery_shell) Bash Script to generate static web galleries. No server-side programs (i.e. PHP, MySQL) required. ## Overview `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 vertical 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. ## Requirements * [ImageMagick](http://www.imagemagick.org/) for the `convert` utility. * [JHead](http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/) for EXIF data extraction On a debian-based system (Ubuntu), just run: ```shell sudo apt install imagemagick jhead ``` Under macOS you can install it with... [MacPort](https://www.macports.org/): ```shell sudo port install imagemagick jhead ``` [Homebrew](https://brew.sh/): ```shell brew install imagemagick jhead ``` ## Usage ```text gallery.sh [-t ] [-d <thumbdir>] [-h]: [-t <title>] sets the title (default: Gallery) [-d <thumbdir>] sets the thumbdir (default: __thumbs) [-h] displays help (this message) ``` Example: `gallery.sh` or `gallery.sh -t "My Photos" -d "thumbs"` `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. ## Hint Create a Bash alias for `gallery.sh`. Open the `~/.bash_profile`, `~/.bashrc` or `~/.bash_aliases` in your text editor: ```shell nano ~/.bash_aliases ``` Add your alias: ```shell alias gallery='/home/nils/gallery_shell/gallery.sh' ``` ## Demo This [demo page](https://cyclenerd.github.io/gallery_shell/) is generated with [GitHub Action](https://github.com/Cyclenerd/gallery_shell/blob/master/.github/workflows/main.yml): <https://cyclenerd.github.io/gallery_shell/> ## Screenshots ![Screenshot: Gallery](images/gallery.jpg) ![Screenshot: Image](images/image.jpg) ## License GNU Public License version 3.
