A very lightweight nodejs Amazon S3 photo album viewer.
You can feed this application with an S3 bucket and it will take the folders and image files and render them into a nice gallery website. If you want to host your photos in a cheap fashion, then you could for instance host this application on a free heroku instance. Finally it is benificial to host your photos on AWS, because you can backup them very easily to Galcier.
The example image shows contents of an album. When the user clicks onto an image, it will be displayed in some kind of lightbox. The whole visual presentation is quite bare, so it will be easy to customize it to your needs.
First you need to run yarn install, this will install all needed dependencies. After that copy the file config.template.js to a new file named config.js. Then edit the file and fill in the missing configuration values.
Your bucket structure should implement following structure:
- album folder 1
- image1_small.jpg
- image1_full.jpg
- image2_small.jpg
- image2_full.jpg
- album folder 2
- some_other_image_small.jpg
- some_other_image_full.jpg
Simply invoke yarn start to run the application. It will then host all the albums on port 3000.
