Use the command line tool named - surprise, surpirse - artserve
to run a zero-config / out-of-the-box artbase server that lets
you query entire collections in single sqlite database (metadata & images) with a "serverless" web page.
Type:
$ artserve # defaults to ./artbase.db
That will start-up a (local loopback) web server running on port 3000. Open-up up the index page in your browser to get started e.g. http://localhost:3000/.
That's it.
artbase.db Options
If you pass in a directory to artserve
the machinery will look for an artbase.db in the directory e.g.
$ artserve moonbirds # defaults to ./moonbirds/artbase.db
$ artserve goblintown # defaults to ./goblintown/artbase.db
# ...
If you pass in a file to artserve the machinery will use the bespoke name & path to look for the sqlite database e.g.
$ artserve punkbase.db
$ artserve moonbirdbase.db
# ...
Just install the gem:
$ gem install artserve
