A Flask application that lets you quickly publish and view a gallery of images from a filesystem.
It can be useful if you wish to quickly look at images on your server or your own local machine.
The application is "Simple by Design".
The preferred way to use is by Docker. If you have docker installed and you wish to view images on say /home/piyush/Pictures directory, you can issue following command and then browse localhost:6006. Change this to your preferred directory path.
docker run -it -p 0.0.0.0:6006:5000/tcp -v /home/piyush/Pictures:/imgdir:ro piyush01123/flaskig python app.py /imgdir -l 0.0.0.0 -p 5000
2nd way is to clone this repo, install flask and run app.py:
python app.py /path/to/your/root/directory/containing/images
If you wish to run it on a server and view the gallery on your own system then you might want to port forward to your local system's IP or you might use a tunnelling service like ngrok or pagekite.
