gogallery - Static photo gallery generator

Creates a static gallery of your photo and video library.

• Super fast (100% Go, concurrent, uses fastest image/video libraries, 4-8 times faster than others)
• Both photo and video support
• Deals with any file formats (ncluding HEIC, HEVC)
• Only updates changed files, runs incrementally
• Uses relative paths (safe for subdirectories or S3)

N.B. deletes all unused media files in gallery directory

Install

For dependencies, on Ubuntu, install libvips42 and ffmpeg (if you need video support)

apt-get install libvips42 ffmpeg

Image and video format support will depend on the support compiled in these libraries. For HEIC+HEVC support check out my PPA for a recompiled libvips42 for Ubuntu (to be published...)

Usage

VIPS_WARNING=0 gogallery -o /var/www/html ~/Dropbox/Pictures

Backlog

Before 0.1 Alpha release, still to do:

• Convert thumbnail and full-size pictures
• Add triangle overlay on video thumbnails to indicate video
• Clean up half-finished thumbnail/fullsize/symlink if program is halted midway
• Use all of thumb/full/symlink in detecting changes required

Before 0.1 Beta release:

• Clean function names
• Refactor functions into internal packages
• Create unit tests (blargh)
• Packaging for Ubuntu
• Set up Ubuntu repository (Github? PPA?)
• Finger swiping for web frontend
• Arrow key navigation for web frontend

Other stuff on the roadmap:

• Allow copying instead of symlinking originals
• Lots of options / config file to tweak defaults
• Patch bimg library so it doesn't log to console without VIPS_WARNING (https://github.com/h2non/bimg/issues/355)
• Add logging to file, better bimg and ffmpeg error handling, when to panic
• Add 'force_divisible_by=2' to ffmpeg encoding (when feature is available in next ffmpeg release)
• Go through the rest of the minor annoyances (TODOs in code)
