Picture or image server

[Kristian Karl]

Hi,

I would like my Bubba to host pictures and images, like Gallery2. But since the hardware requirements are a bit to much for sweet Bubba, I was wondering if I could get some tips.

Is Apache::Gallery [http://apachegallery.dk/] an option? It requires Imlib2 dev, but when I do:

bubba:~# apt-get install libimlib2-dev
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package libimlib2-dev

So that may be a dead end as well...

Any suggestions?

Hi Kristian,

I would recomend running spgm,http://spgm.sourceforge.net/?lg=us which is a very minimalistic gallery application that still works nicely.

This is also discussed in this thread http://excito.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t ... light=spgm (Maybe time for a howto on setting it up )

Yeah, SPGM was really nice, and it's fast as well. Really good!

Remember though to create the thumbnails on another machine than bubba, since that can be a time consuming affair.

Thanx for the tip!

Hi

Does anybody know good program that auto generats thumbnails and name them _thb_picname.jpg when placed in i the photodir?

This to be able to just place the photos in the right dir and then everything is automaticly generated.

I saw the HOWTO for SPGM looks like a nice program.
Is it possible to change to photo dir to /storage/pictures so I dont have to have 2 versions of the photos one for web and one for my PS3.

http://www.imagemagick.org comes with some command line programs to edit photos, i've used it some time ago, can also apply many effects and such

Hi,

I have added a small package that provides thumbnail capabilities, jpg only, to use on Bubba.

Install the epeg0-bin package to get it.

To use it. Log into bubba in a shell and change into the directory you want to build thumbnails in. Issue

Code: Select all

mkjpegthumb

and it should build thumbnails of any jpeg found in that directory.

This package is a _lot_ more efficient than imagemagick, which can take minutes to rescale an image, but has the drawback in that it only work on jpegs.

Hi

Thanks for the reply. One question. Does that command goes down through Dirs.

ex if I run it in /photo will it go through /photo/jan/ and /photo/jan/party

If you add -R it will.

Thanks

Will check it out.

This looks great!

Until now I've sort of put this thumbnail-generation/photo-export-to-bubba issue on hold for my home gallery (because I've been more into looking at the GeoCoding-side of my photos ), but I'll definitely have a look at the epeg0-bin package sometime in the future.

Thank you for great support Tor!

It would be great if I didn't have to think too hard about adding new image galleries/photo folders to bubba (i.e. not having to manually generate photos in different sizes on my pc before exporting to bubba), and this might be the solution.

Best regards
