Clunkgal static photo gallery software

About

Clunkgal is a script and accompanying templates that will generate a complete, user-friendly static HTML photo gallery from your photo collection.

It is designed to generate a very lightweight and secure photo gallery for your website, comprised solely of static HTML pages based on templates, which are editable.

Clunkgal is released under the GPL free software licence, version 2.

Features

• Generates an easy to navigate tree of your photo gallery with thumbnails, automatically including all subdirectories
• Very light on system resources
• Static HTML format, no security risk
• Optional captions for pictures
• Configurable width threshold (in pixels) to flag an image as a 'panorama' for the viewer (nice when used with Autostitch, which runs nicely on Linux under WINE)

The BASH scripting language and the ImageMagick graphics manipulation suite are all that is required to run the software. Linux is recommended, but other Unices and possibly even Windows (via Cygwin) can play too.

This means that no web scripting language (e.g. PHP, Perl, etc) nor database software is required, allowing the gallery to be hosted on servers with very modest hardware specifications. In fact, this server (clunker.dyndns.org) is presently hosted on a 10 year old Digital Venturis 5120, which is a Pentium 120 with 48 MB of RAM and 1.2 gigabyte of hard disk.
