Overview

ChmouPhotos is a simple website designed for hosting and displaying photos. Originally built on the Ghost platform, the website was migrated to a Golang-based site and eventually converted to a Hugo site and theme. This transition was motivated by the resource-intensive nature of the original Node.js setup, which proved to be too heavy for smaller servers like Raspberry Pi. By utilizing Hugo, ChmouPhotos aims to strike a balance between lightweight design and functionality, offering a fast and efficient solution for hosting photo collections.
