FuckFlickr: narc-free image gallery

Shi Tao is serving a 10-year sentence in prison for writing articles calling for political reform in China. Yahoo helped put him there.
FuckFlickr is open-source image gallery software that won’t narc you out. We created it as an alternative to hosting your photos on a certain Yahoo-owned photo sharing site.
No database required; just upload it and put images in the data directory.

halvfet added these pithy words on Mar 08 08 at 9:11 pmi’ve taken the code, gave it a makeover and added some bling (templating and sorting). trying to give it some class to allow a user to add titles/descriptions with a YAML file.
http://www.halvfet.com/fuckflickr_test
i’ll try to get an archive of the code once i’m done with the YAML file coding.
halvfet added these pithy words on Mar 09 08 at 10:13 pmfinished the yaml, added in gif and png support.

jamie dubs added these pithy words on Mar 11 08 at 10:09 amdamn son, you tore that mother up!
I checked in a branch with your code and will be merging it into trunk after some review. We’ll be at 2.0 before 1.0 is even really released :)
wetterfrosch added these pithy words on Mar 27 08 at 8:19 amAnd who is owning the images here?
Or: Who should you buy?I suggest to think about a decentralized or peer2peer-based storage-solution.
jamie dubs added these pithy words on Mar 31 08 at 2:33 pmIt’s on your server. It’s all yours.
P2P backup/shared storage is kind of interesting though. I’m also a core developer on the Hydra torrent tracker, which supports federation — my hydra talks to your hydra, and they both share active torrents. It makes sense for torrents, but less so for photos — you want as many people as possible to download the torrent and keep it alive, but I might not want people to be getting my dope photos at your site. ;)
Thomas added these pithy words on Apr 15 08 at 12:59 pmWhere can i download the halvfet version of the fuck flickr gallery again?
jamie dubs added these pithy words on Apr 15 08 at 1:11 pmHalvfet version is currently in final testing phases, expect a real release soon.
If you want to experiment I’ve put a copy of the latest code here:
Thomas added these pithy words on Apr 15 08 at 1:32 pmThanks jamie!
I am from the Dutch Art, Design & Webmagazine Fontanel.
We have a lot of photogallery’s on our site (like this:http://www.fontanel.nl/gallery/le_art/)our next step is to make a gallery overview. we’ll be looking at the wonderfully simple fuckflickr gallery!
i’ll keep you updated if we manage to complete it!
splnlss added these pithy words on Apr 29 08 at 9:45 amsupport the sentiment whole hardily and the software. I’m d/l’ing and psyched to install it.
But I find it bothersome that fat labs then participates in Synthetic Times; a Bejing exploitation of the new media art world for their own agenda, in anticipation of the olympics. If you boycott one, shouldn’t the other be obvious?
evan added these pithy words on Apr 29 08 at 1:11 pmIf it makes you feel any better we just got kicked out of Synthetic Times because we refused to censor our work. We were hoping to use that exhibition as a platform to talk about some of these issues.
n1k added these pithy words on Sep 23 08 at 8:58 amthis is fuckin dope son. definitely gonna use this.
senses3 added these pithy words on Sep 30 08 at 12:07 pmhey a database isn’t required, but if i want to use one can i?
jamie dubs added these pithy words on Oct 01 08 at 10:56 am@senses3: no support for MySQL et al, but there is a simple textfile you can edit to add titles, descriptions, and tags (and CSS)
wweeggee added these pithy words on Nov 21 08 at 10:17 amflickr kill my art. I am a photographer and use flickr across the last 4 years. In the last Two years, yahoo and flickr censored all my pictures and my user. Now 2800 pictures from my sets are deleted. I fight for my digniti and flickr never help me, always kill my work.

beret added these pithy words on Dec 19 08 at 12:34 amI tweaked the default theme to be dark with accents of green. it’s sort of messy but it works. It’s

What’s going on with the permission stuff at the top?

I’ve thrown it all up online and it works until I put an image in there and then it goes all php error on my ass. Any help from anyone who understands code?
halvfet added these pithy words on Jan 07 09 at 4:37 pmwhen using FTP, do a chmod on the /data directory by setting the permissions to 0777. that will allow you to create/edit new directories and files.
allan corbett added these pithy words on Jan 08 09 at 10:44 amThat didn’t work – it changed the error. I started again with a fresh download and install and it’s still showing errors. I changed ALL permissions to 0777
halvfet added these pithy words on Jan 08 09 at 10:55 amallan,
shoot me an email at contact [at] halvfet [dot] com with those new errors and maybe i can walk you through it better.
allan corbett added these pithy words on Jan 12 09 at 11:36 pmUpdate: It’s playing nicely some sort of host problem.
jamie dubs added these pithy words on Jan 12 09 at 11:46 pmgood looking @allan, will add it to my list of fflickr installs: http://delicious.com/jamiew/fuckflickr
bono added these pithy words on Jan 19 09 at 10:47 amlove the code to Fflickr, using it as my web sight right now, very diverse!!!!
Philipp added these pithy words on Feb 11 09 at 11:53 amwow i love this project http://hundertmarkblog.de/fuckflickr/fuckflickr/
nf added these pithy words on Feb 17 09 at 9:25 pmIs there a Flickr ripper available that dumps to this data format? If not, I’d be happy to code one up (I’ve been meaning to do so for a while)
Dennis added these pithy words on Mar 23 09 at 3:53 pmWow! Can I get this on my phone? I’m using Opera Mini and have issues with everything Y!
halvfet added these pithy words on Mar 23 09 at 4:47 pmDennis, this project is written in PHP and is to be ran on a web hosting server, not from your computer, phone, or other handheld device.
If you want to use it on your phone, you can download the script, upload it to your web server, style it out for your phone by adding a handheld/iphone stylesheet, an open it in a web browser on your phone. =)
halvfet added these pithy words on Mar 23 09 at 4:49 pmnf, no, there is not one yet. we would be thrilled if you did.
budderz added these pithy words on Mar 27 09 at 9:25 pmI for some reason cannot get the albums to show up.. any help would be appreciated.
essgee added these pithy words on Jun 03 09 at 1:05 pmis there any way to incorporate a simple php uploader or is it just for ftp? actually, fuck it. it works fine the way it is. much <3 guys.
D.J. added these pithy words on Jun 06 09 at 1:20 pmHey! Can one of you guys adapt this for Opera Mini? It’s (if you’re not familiar with it) a JAVA app. for cellphones. This would be so cool, as we have our own issues with Y!
There are +/- 20 million of us. Even if half used fuckflicker it’d be pretty cool,no?
*shrug* Just a thought…

Will added these pithy words on Jul 12 09 at 9:35 pmI really don’t get the second step
Will added these pithy words on Jul 12 09 at 9:36 pmI mean the third. I don’t know how to do the third step.
samuel added these pithy words on Jul 13 09 at 1:41 am@Will, After you’ve uploaded the scripts and images to your web server, just navigate to the folder via your browser. That’s all it is saying.
Matt Katz added these pithy words on Jul 28 09 at 7:21 amHi – I coded up an import from flickr. You put in your username and it rips everything from flickr down to your fuckflickr install.
It’s available at: http://svn.morelightmorelight.com/trunk/personal/fflickr/
Flickr_Lube – because sometimes you need a little help to fuck flickr.
Compare my flickr site with my fuckflickr here:

Matt Katz added these pithy words on Jul 28 09 at 7:22 amAlso – it’s in ruby – if that’s cool with you guys, feel free to include it in the fuckflickr base.
cruz added these pithy words on Aug 24 09 at 9:35 amAny idea why it turns all my portrait photos to lanscape?
cheers
cruz added these pithy words on Aug 24 09 at 9:56 amHmm! Disregard, It looks like some weird automator bug.
cruz added these pithy words on Aug 24 09 at 10:02 amNo, no bug, it ladscapes them. Where can I control that?
Scott added these pithy words on Aug 25 09 at 10:41 pmTo wweeggee and others considering using Flickr or any other such site. Another reason why your should not depend on such sites is they control what goes up. After all, like it or not, it’s their site. Always best to get your own site, then you decide what goes up.
nf added these pithy words on Sep 06 09 at 8:19 pmHey guys. I finally wrote a python script to rip photos from Flickr to a local MySQL database. There’s also a script that’ll convert those photos into a QDig-compatible photo library. Sadly, it doesn’t do the Fuck Flickr format (as I don’t use it), but it should be pretty trivial for someone to make the necessary modifications.
Hope this helps.

Jed added these pithy words on Apr 13 10 at 3:17 pmhi.. tried installing.. but i cant find the info.yml file .. and i how do i create a different gallery?
samuel added these pithy words on Apr 13 10 at 11:00 pm@Jed, in your FTP program, make a new folder in the data folder and upload images in there.
Then load the page in your browser and it will create the .yml file and thumbnails and shit automatically.

thank you very much!
uhh added these pithy words on Jul 24 10 at 7:17 amuhh. this is just another image gallery. there are so many out there with better support and features and open source too. unlike those, however, this one is using bad yahoo media sensation to promote themselves.
oh who am i kidding. it works! the audience is lapping it all up. congrats.
maybe you should replace facebook whilst you’re at it. i heard they are hosting images too.

I usually like to hear a thing new about this because I have the similar blog in my Country on this subject so this help´s me a lot. I did a research on a subject matter and observed a good number of blogs but absolutely nothing like this.Thanks for sharing so significantly inside your blog.

After trying over your website I e-book marked and shall be coming back to read your new posts!
