Webnail
Webnail can
-
scale an image, placing the scaled image in a file.
-
scale multiple images, placing the scaled images in a directory or ZIP file.
-
create a web page containing multiple images with thumbnail images for navigation and with controls for providing a slideshow.
-
create a Web Archive (WAR) file or directory, with thumbnail images for navigation and with controls for providing a slideshow. In this case a web server (which Webnail also implements) can be used to allow multiple computers to show the same images concurrently.
To install, visit the Debian Repository
page and follow the instructions for setting up /etc/apt to access that
repository, and install libbzdev-base-java, libbzdev-math-java,
libbzdev-obnaming-java, libbzdev-graphics-java, libbzdev-desktop-java,
webnail, and webnail-pop-icons. For non-Debian Linux systems, there is
a direct links page
for downloading Debian packages, which the program alien can convert
into RPM packages, etc. For other systems, visit the
installers page,
use the bzdev and webnail links to download installers (each is a
JAR file), and then follow the instructions on that page for running
an installer.
Documentation
There is a manual, also built into webnail as part of its ‘help’ system.
Docker
There is a docker image available (wtzbzdev/webnail) that provides a web server that allows multiple computers to show the same slideshow at the same time. The web page for this server will provide the latest version number. The server will handle the webpages generated by webnail, whether provided as a ZIP file, a WAR file, or a directory.
