goalbum

Build stand-alone, responsive image galleries for the web, from images on your hard drive.

This is basically a re-write of rpa in golang. Uses photoswipe and freewall for dynamic image display. All assets are compiled into the binary, so there is always only one file required for installation.

Installation

Download the latest release from the github releases page. Unzip and put the goalbum binary somewhere on your PATH.

Usage

Basic usage looks like this:

$ goalbum -in path/to/photo/directory -out path/to/html/output -title "My Cool Image Gallery"

Tagging, Author, Caption

To add tags to photos or update the author or caption, first generate the gallery, for example:

$ goalbum -in path/to/photo/directory -out path/to/html/output -title "My Cool Image Gallery"

Then, edit the photos.json file in the output directory. Update each photo entry accordingly by adding tags or other information. For example, this:

...
{
		"Id": "photo-6",
		"InPath": "/home/atongen/tmp/example/022.jpg",
		"Md5sum": "61aa461810008e0bb50a62ae39c7c1ee",
		"OriginalPath": "originals/022.jpg",
		"OriginalWidth": 1600,
		"OriginalHeight": 1063,
		"SlidePath": "slides/022.jpg",
		"SlideWidth": 1200,
		"SlideHeight": 797,
		"ThumbPath": "thumbs/022.jpg",
		"ThumbWidth": 300,
		"ThumbHeight": 199,
		"Caption": "022.jpg: Monday, October 10, 2016 at 10:33am",
		"Author": "",
		"Tags": null,
		"TagNames": null,
		"CreatedAt": "2016-10-10T10:33:51-05:00"
},
...

could be updated to this:

...
{
		"Id": "photo-6",
		"InPath": "/home/atongen/tmp/example/022.jpg",
		"Md5sum": "61aa461810008e0bb50a62ae39c7c1ee",
		"OriginalPath": "originals/022.jpg",
		"OriginalWidth": 1600,
		"OriginalHeight": 1063,
		"SlidePath": "slides/022.jpg",
		"SlideWidth": 1200,
		"SlideHeight": 797,
		"ThumbPath": "thumbs/022.jpg",
		"ThumbWidth": 300,
		"ThumbHeight": 199,
		"Caption": "Photo taken on Monday, October 10, 2016 at 10:33am",
		"Author": "Andrew Tongen",
		"Tags": ["Alice", "Bob"],
		"TagNames": null,
		"CreatedAt": "2016-10-10T10:33:51-05:00"
},
...

Then update the gallery:

$ goalbum -in path/to/photo/directory -out path/to/html/output -title "My Cool Image Gallery" -update

You can also quickly add and remove images from your gallery using this technique. Keep your input directory around until your certain you like the way your gallery looks.
