image-serve 0.1.3

Serve images from current directory or JSON index as a web gallery

image-serve

Serve images from your current working directory as a simple web gallery.

Alternatively, you can use a pre-built JSON index denoting filenames to serve images deeply nested in a variety of directories (iMessage attachment backup, for example).

Installation

pip install image-serve

Usage

Serve Current Directory

Simply run image-serve to serve the current directory.

Extra options:

usage: image-serve [-h] [--host HOST] [--port PORT] [--threads THREADS] [-v]
              [--index-file INDEX_FILE]

Serve images in the current working directory as a simple gallery.

options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --host HOST           Host/IP to bind (default: 0.0.0.0)
  --port PORT           Port to bind (default: 8000)
  --threads THREADS     Number of worker threads (default: 8)

python examples/indexed/generate_index.py /path/to/images --output index.json

Then serve:

image-serve --index-file index.json --port 8000

• --host HOST: Host to bind (default: 0.0.0.0)
• --port PORT: Port to bind (default: 8000)
• --threads THREADS: Number of threads (default: 8)
• --index-file FILE: JSON index file to serve from
• -v, --verbose: Show directory statistics and image counts in logs
