PhotoArk

PhotoArk

PhotoArk is a web interface for viewing photos.

Running

go get github.com/kochman/PhotoArk

Inside the PhotoArk directory:

• bower install - download web components.
• go get github.com/mjibson/esc - install esc for embedding static assets.
• go generate - bundle the static folder for embedding.
• go run main.go cache.go syncmap.go static.go

The -devel flag will force PhotoArk to serve static files off of the disk instead of from the embedded static folder. Use the -help flag to see other configuration options.

To build a binary, do the above, and then:

go build

Metadata

PhotoArk looks for metadata.yaml files inside folders in photoDir. These metadata files allow users to filter photos. An example metadata file:

event: Fashion Show
photographer: Sidney Kochman
date: 2016-2-4
location: Auditorium

Currently, only those four fields are exposed in the web interface. In the future, arbitrary keys will be visible.
