Imgsort 2

Cross platform, fast and efficient manual file sorting with keybinds.

Description

Imgsort 2 is web app that lets a client sort files from a "staging" directory on the server into other directories on the server. It is mainly intended for sorting media that was auto-uploaded from a phone into a self-hosted cloud, like Nextcloud.

If you are looking for a simple program the lets you the same thing locally, have a look at imgsort.

Web Interface

The web can show images, video and audio. The user can configure several directories into which the files can be sorted through the web interface. Each directory has a keybind and a button which, when either is pressed, moves the image into the according directory.

The web interface has mobile optimizations, letting you sort images/files on the go.

Installation

You need a php enabled web server, for example nginx with php-fpm. Configure the Makefile by setting the

• ROOT_DIR to the directory containg all images
• INSTALL_DIR to the directory that should contain the app files

Then, run make install (with sufficent permissions for INSTALL_DIR) to install the application files. This will also create a imgsort2-nginx.conf and imgsort2-php-fpm.conf in the current directory, which you can use as basis for your web server and php configuration.

If you a using nextcloud, make sure to have directory set as ROOT_DIR as an external storage media and not in the main nextcloud data directory.

The app has no authentication system. Only expose it locally or use something like nginx basic auth to restrict access!
