Sigal is a simple yet powerful Python tool that allows you to create photo galleries in just a few steps. In this guide, we will show you how to install Sigal on NetBSD.
Before starting, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
Sigal requires the following dependencies to be installed before it can run:
You can install these dependencies by running the following command:
pip install Pillow Jinja2 click markdown arrow piexif
Create a folder where you want to install Sigal, then clone the Sigal repository from GitHub using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/saimn/sigal.git
Once you have downloaded the Sigal repository, navigate to the Sigal folder and run the following command to install Sigal:
python setup.py install
To configure Sigal, create a new directory for your photo gallery and add your photos to this directory. You can configure Sigal by creating a sigal.conf.py file and adding your desired configuration options.
Here is an example sigal.conf.py file:
# Site information
site_title = "My Photo Gallery"
site_author = "John Doe"
site_desc = "A collection of my best photos."
# Theme settings
theme = "colorbox"
# Source and output directory
source = "/path/to/photos"
destination = "/path/to/output"
# Thumbnail and image size
img_size = (1200, 800)
thumb_size = (300, 200)
# Pagination settings
index_size = 10
albums_size = 25
Once you have configured Sigal, you can generate your gallery by running the following command:
sigal build
This will generate your gallery in the output directory specified in the sigal.conf.py file.
Sigal is a great tool for creating simple and responsive photo galleries. By following the steps in this tutorial, you can easily install and configure Sigal on your NetBSD server.
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!
