Sigal is a web gallery generator that allows you to create beautiful static galleries using your own images.
Here's how to install Sigal on Linux Mint:
Sigal is written in Python, so you'll need to have Python installed to use it. Open a terminal window and run the following command:
sudo apt-get install python
This will install the latest version of Python available in your Linux Mint system.
Pip is a package installer for Python. You can use it to easily install Sigal and its dependencies.
Run the following command in your terminal to install Pip:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
Now that you have Pip installed, you can use it to install Sigal. Run the following command in your terminal:
sudo pip install sigal
This command will download and install the latest version of Sigal and all its dependencies.
To create a Sigal gallery, you need to have a folder with your images inside. Create a new directory and place your images in it.
Then, run the following command:
sigal build path/to/folder
This command will generate a new directory called output with your Sigal gallery inside.
To view your Sigal gallery, open a terminal window and navigate to the output directory that was generated earlier.
Then, run the following command:
python -m http.server
This command will start a web server on your machine. Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000/ to view your Sigal gallery.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed Sigal and created your first gallery!
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
