Simple Image Viewer is a website that displays images. It allows you to create galleries, put images into these galleries, and display them via a website. There is no 'like' functionality or rating of any kind. It literally just displays images. What a novel concept.

The images are uploaded to Amazon S3 via a Python script. You have the option of running the images through a compressor before uploading them, however this step is optional. Once the images have been uploaded they must be placed into a database, for this I use DynamoDB.

1. Clone this repo
2. npm install
3. Install imagemagick
4. Install jpegoptim

1. Compress Images - The images are compressed via processor.py.
2. Upload Images - Upload the images via uploader.py.
3. Push to Databse - Create the database entries via push.py.

Now that you have all of your images in the cloud, you can configure the site to display them.

1. Copy config.js.example to config.js.
2. Replace the aws.key and aws.secret values with your secret and key. To get these values go here.
3. Replace aws.db value with the table name you would like to use for your photos. I used family_photos for one of my sites.
4. Move to Routes below.

Placing Routes in config.js is how your galleries are created. Here is an example route:

aws.routes = {
    familysite : {
      prefix : 'familysite',
      title : 'I am not in any of these pictures!'
    },
    mycat : {
      prefix : 'mycat',
      title : 'Forever Alone'
    }
};
