Turn any folder with photos & videos into a web gallery.
- thumbnails & multiple resolutions for fast previews
- mobile friendly website with customisable themes
- only rebuilds changed files: it's fast!
- uses relative paths so you can deploy the pages anywhere
- works great with Amazon S3 for static hosting
## Quick start
Simply point `thumbsup` to a folder with photos & videos. All nested folders become separate albums.
```bash
npm install -g thumbsup
thumbsup --input ./photos --output ./gallery
```
There are many command line arguments to customise the output.
See the website for the full documentation: https://thumbsup.github.io.
## Requirements
Thumbsup requires the following dependencies:
- [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/): `brew install node`
- [exiftool](http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/): `brew install exiftool`
- [GraphicsMagick](http://www.graphicsmagick.org/): `brew install graphicsmagick`
And optionally:
- [FFmpeg](http://www.ffmpeg.org/) to process videos: `brew install ffmpeg`
- [Gifsicle](http://www.lcdf.org/gifsicle/) to process animated GIFs: `brew install gifsicle`
You can run thumbsup as a Docker container ([thumbsupgallery/thumbsup](https://hub.docker.com/r/thumbsupgallery/thumbsup/)) which pre-packages all the dependencies above. Read the [thumbsup on Docker](https://thumbsup.github.io/docs/2-installation/docker/) documentation for more detail.
```bash
docker run -v `pwd`:/work thumbsupgallery/thumbsup [...]
```
