fotoDen

A statically structured, front-end dynamic photo gallery

Wiki

Using

fotoDen is designed so that it can be used independent of any separate tool, but it works well if you have the fotoDen tool in order to create folders and albums that are directly accessable by fotoDen's front end.

Using the pre-built fotoDen tool from release is as simple as initializing a website (with an optional theme - one is already included!)

fotoDen init -i site --name "[ your website name here ]" my_website/

From there, you can start generating folders and albums as you wish:

fotoDen create folder --name "[ your folder name here ]" my_website/my_folder/
fotoDen create album --name "[ your album name here ]" my/images/are/here my_website/my_folder/my_album

Run the fotoDen command for more options. (More detailed information and commands will be added soon, including use of the build system!)

Warning

fotoDen is still in its very early stages, at v0 - everything and anything is subject to change. While I'll attempt to keep its base structure stable, commands and folder metadata are subject to change in drastic ways. Upgrade paths will be offered for fotoDen version transitions that up the minor version number (v0 . y . 0), so that version transitions with new changes are more easier.

Installing

You will require the latest version of libvips in order to use fotoDen.

You can either install from an existing build [which includes fotoDen.js md5 checksums for both the minified version, and the JS file that came with its release], or you can install the tool alone by running go install github.com/vulppine/fotoDen.

Building

You will require the latest version of libvips, terser, and Go in order to build fotoDen from source.

1. Clone the git repository into a directory of your choice
2. Run make all in the resulting folder
3. fotoDen will be located in the build/ folder in the same directory.

Contributing

If you want to contribute, I encourage you to fork and help develop fotoDen! Note that fotoDen uses Standard JS for its JavaScript style.

A testing script is included in the root of the repository - run it in your local environment to generate a test website. Generating the container will require Docker.

fotoDen relies on a few important dependencies (both front and back), so here are links to the dependencies that fotoDen uses! License information for included source code can be found in their respective locations.
