- Non-destructive: Showoff does not change original files
- Image rotation based on exif data
- Image albums are just directories with image files, showoff will find and generate the required metadata for you.
- You can use the admin to select which photo's should be published in the "show" which is the publicly visible album
- Separate frontend and admin apps
- No database is used (everything is in flat-file or json files)
- Theme support (Jinja2 is used for templates)
Showoff requires the following software:
- Python (developed with 2.5 provided with Debian Lenny)
- Flask
- Flask-WTF
- py_bcrypt
- Werkzeug
- Jinja2
- PIL
If you use pip and virtualenv (highly recommended), you can simply install the dependencies with
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
- Install the software listed under Requirements
- Adjust the configuration in config.py
- Make sure the CACHE_DIR is writable by both the admin and viewer apps
- Make sure the EDITS_DIR and SHOWS_DIR are readable by the viewer app and readable AND writable by the admin app
I recommend using a combination of uwsgi and nginx. See the examples dir for relevant wsgi files.
