# StaticGalleryBuilder (SGB)
|
|
|
|
`builder.py` is a Python script designed to generate static HTML files for hosting images on a web server. It traverses a specified root directory, creates thumbnail previews for images, and generates corresponding HTML files to display the images and subfolders in a user-friendly format.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Generate HTML Files:** The script creates HTML files for each folder in the specified root directory.
|
|
- **Thumbnail Creation:** It generates thumbnail previews for supported image formats.
|
|
- **Folder Navigation:** The HTML files include navigation links to subfolders.
|
|
- **Responsive Design:** The generated HTML uses responsive design techniques to ensure the gallery looks good on different screen sizes.
|
|
- **Non-Interactive Mode:** It can run in a non-interactive mode suitable for automated workflows.
|
|
- **License Information:** Optionally include license information in the HTML files.
|
|
- **Custom Author and Title:** Allows specifying a custom author and title for the HTML files.
|
|
- **CSS Theme Support:** Allows specifying a custom CSS theme file for the HTML files.
|
|
- **Folder Exclusion:** Ability to exclude specific folders from processing.
|
|
- **Selective File Extensions:** Ability to specify which file extensions to include in the gallery.
|
|
- **Ignore Other Files:** Option to ignore files other than those specified by the included extensions.
|
|
- **Info Tooltips:** Display additional information as tooltips for images if an `info` file is present in the directory.
|
|
- **Generate Web Manifest:** Ability to generate a web manifest file for PWA (Progressive Web App) support.
|
|
- **Generate on the fly icons:** If `cairosvg` is installed the script will generate icons from the css theme colors automatically.

|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
./builder.py -p /data/pictures -w https://pictures.example.com -t "My Photo Gallery"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To regenerate thumbnails and run in non-interactive mode:
|

|
|
```
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- The root and web root paths must point to the same folder, one on the filesystem and one on the web server. Use absolute paths.
|
|
- The script generates the preview thumbnails in a `.thumbnails` subdirectory within the root folder.
|
|
- The `.lock` file prevents multiple instances of the script from running simultaneously. Make sure to remove it if the script terminates unexpectedly.
