About

Sometimes, you just need a way to randomly display your files in the browser.

Simply point this tool at one or more directories, and then open the specified port (default 8080) in your browser.

A new file will be selected if you open the root URI directly, or if you click on any displayed image.

Browser history is preserved, so you can always go back to any previously displayed image.

Builds available here.

[-s, --successive]

This option is tailored specifically for my own use case.

When loading a new image, it checks for a sequentially-numbered file in the same directory.

For example, let's say /mnt/photos/MyVacation001.jpg is being displayed.

If you click on the image, roulette will attempt to display /mnt/photos/MyVacation002.jpg.

If that matching file is not found, it will select a random file as usual.

The expected format is filename###.extension.
