Thumbsup is published as a Docker image in the GitHub package repository called thumbsup/thumbsup. It is available for amd64, arm/v7 and arm64.

To create a gallery, you will need to mount one or several folders so that the container can access:

• the input folder with photos & videos
• the output folder to write the gallery
• the config file, if using one

For example:

docker run -t              \
  -v "$(pwd):/work"        \
  -u $(id -u):$(id -g)     \
  ghcr.io/thumbsup/thumbsup \
  thumbsup --input /work/media --output /work/gallery

You can of course mount the volumes differently, for example:

docker run -t                   \
  -v /Volumes/photos:/input:ro  \  # the input folder can be read-only
  -v "$(pwd)/website:/output"   \
  -u $(id -u):$(id -g)          \
  ghcr.io/thumbsup/thumbsup      \
  thumbsup --input /input --output /output

Notes:

• the -t argument is for the progress bars to render properly
• the -u argument is to avoid permission issues, where the generated gallery is owned by an unknown user

Photo dates displayed on the website are based on the current machine timezone. When running in Docker, this is GMT. If the timezone is important to you, you should also add

docker run -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime [...]

For more details about all the arguments and options available, see the configuration page.
