A tiny static image feed generator built for the command line
ocular is a command line tool that lets you add images from your harddrive to create a static website and automatically upload it to your webserver.
Unlike traditional gallery systems, images are added one by one to build a feed of images, similar to how you would use an image sharing platform like Inst*gram or Pixelfed. You can think of it as a minimal indieweb alternative to those platforms — one that keeps you in ownership and control of your data.
There are no social features to speak of, but ocular can optionally post new images to Mastodon to share and comment.
Following other feeds is indirectly possible through the ocular webring. The webring takes all ocular feeds and aggregates them to one chronological gallery.
Ocular is directly inspired by IMGRAM MINI and the subversive.pics webring, which also aggregates the ocular webring galleries.
