Hello,
until now I have www-served (httpd) my photos using, as it seems to me,
a very simple way: into a directory with photos I copied a file called
gallery.html taken from
https://github.com/gfwilliams/ThinGallery
.
This created a browsable gallery of photos (using a web browser and
over the internet), simple enough for my mom to orient in and use.
Is there any similar way so that I could serve also video files?
Thanks for any comments / recommendations.
(I want something that lives on my machine. I know there are some 'big'
frameworks, perhaps MediaGoblin, Serviio; also I could perhaps run a docker
with minnich under a virtual machine runing linux. But is there something
easy and available on OpenBSD?)
Best regards,
Ruda
Hi,
I have been running piwigo (https://piwigo.org/) as a "Gallery" for all
my photos and videos for years. It takes a bit of work, but it does a
good job and "just works".
It takes a small amount of work to configure php, phpfpm, but once
that's all done, it's rock solid.
Kind of cool, it allows multiple formats of photos, so I can have my
camera shoot jpgs and raw and it will provide the option of which to view.
For videos, you can create a thumbnail from the video so the user has a
bit of a clue what they might be going to watch.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Steve Williams
