Pictures

So yesterday and today I set up something to host some pictures of my own.

Since I like my static hosting setup, I searched for something static to generated albums from the pictures located in some folder.

After fiddeling with llgal (which sucked), and jalbum (which sucked even more), I came accross Sigal. I also tried python photoweb which might do some good.

Sigal came with some really nice out-of-the-box templates based off galleria and colorbox, a lightbox clone.

Sigal

Here are the the features I needed:

• batch processing of image directories
• resizing images
• thumbnailing
• generating static html using good looking templates.

A simple “sigal build $directory” does the job after initializing a config file.

Take a look at the album I generated for the Trooper13 Infosec Conference.
