Galry

Teeny-tiny Image Gallery that fits into a single executable and does not require a database.

Have a directory full of images and want it served as a useable website without any hassle at all? Then Galry is for you!

Docker: svedrin/galry

Configuration

Galry does not require much configuration. If you're using the Docker container, just mount your image folder to /pictures and you're good to go.

Galry supports a few command line options, each of which can also be configured through an env var:

• -r, --read-only-fs (env: GALRY_READ_ONLY_FS=true): Treat the file system as read-only and never write thumbnails or previews to disk.

• -t, --thumbs-dir (env: GALRY_THUMBS_DIR=/somedir): Directory to store thumbnails in (defaults to root_dir).

• -z, --zoom-shows-preview (env: GALRY_ZOOM_SHOWS_PREVIEW=true): Set this to have the zoom button in the Image view open the preview image rather than the original.

The latter two options can be useful when serving images from slow media (such as an NFS share or HDDs that spin down). By saving the Thumbnails on an SSD and enabling -z, Galry will load the image only once from the slow disks and then grab them from the cache on subsequent requests.
