Rebuilding my gallery website

Prehistory

I started using a jekyll plugin that would create a gallery from a folder tree, I also hacked it abit¹, after a while I started hitting github’s 1Gbyte storage limit So I started storing the images on a cloud storage server

Now

when a new image/video is added I run the ExifTool to create a csv file with all the image/video metadata

I add a yaml file if there is any metadata not captured by the csv file, like tags, GPS coords, etc
