A minor adapdation of the thumbsup theme in the forked repo

Install thumbsup and its dependencies.

Run npm install moment in working directory. Time parsing depends on this.

Structure the input folder in a way that folders containing photos are albums. An album is allowed to contain subalbums. Example:

input
├── album1
│   ├── group1
│   │   ├── pic1.jpg
│   │   └── pic2.jpg
│   └── group2
│       ├── pic3.jpg
│       ├── pic4.jpg
│       └── pic5.jpg
├── album2
│   ├── pic6.jpeg
│   ├── pic7.jpg
│   └── pic8.jpg
├── standalone1.jpg
└── standalone2.jpg

Use the IPTC - Content > Description metadata to add caption for photos

Create a config.json file somewhere with the following information:

{
    "input": ".../input", // path to photo input folder
    "output": ".../output", // where to generate output

    // See https://thumbsup.github.io/docs/3-configuration/cheat-sheet/ 
    // for what these do
    "small-size": "300", 
    "large-size": "1200",
    "cleanup": "false",
    "album-page-size": "0",
    "albums-output-folder": "albums",

    // If you want to watermark your photos
    "watermark": ".../watermark.png", // path to watermark png
    "watermark-position": "SouthEast", // location

    "theme-path": ".../archive", // path to the root of this repo

    "title": "PhotoArchive", // Website title
    "footer": "these are placeholder images from unsplash", // website footer

    "dummy": "dummy" // this does nothing (*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)
}

Then run the following to generate static website

thumbsup --config "path/to/config.json"

Motify any .hbs or .less file.

See thumbup documentation.

Any platform for deploying static website should work. Some ideas:

• Netlify
• GitHub Pages
• Wunderbucket

Template files (i.e. those not in public) under MIT.

• Thumbsup is under MIT
• lightGallery is under GNU GPL license v3
• Justified Gallery is under MIT
