Quick Gallery

This Node.js-based script:

  • takes a directory on your disk
  • finds all files that end in *.JPG
  • generates thumbnails for the found pictures
  • serves a password-protected gallery for browsing them

Install and run

git clone https://github.com/rkaw92/node-quick-gallery.git
cd node-quick-gallery
npm ci
npm start

By default, the script will serve some sample images. You can verify it works by going to http://localhost:3000 .
The default password is randomized - look at the console output to find it.

To point the script to a directory which contains your own photos for the gallery, use environment variables:

PHOTO_DIRECTORY=$HOME/Pictures/2022/Holiday npm start

To also set your own username/password, instead of generating a new password on each start:

export PHOTO_DIRECTORY=$HOME/Pictures/2022/Holiday
export LOGIN=robert
export PASSWORD=swordfish
npm start
