Instagram Pixelfed Batch Upload

This program takes a folder, iterates over the images and creates Pixelfed postings with a specified batch size.

There are 4 different options for the image description (ALT text) supported now:

1. ChatGPT/OpenAI mode: generating the image description using the OpenAI API and respective model. You'll need to provide your OpenAI API access key and the model you wanna use.

2. Local/Ollama mode: generate the image description using a local/own installation of Ollama. You'll have to configure the base URL of your ollama installation, an (optional) access key and the model to be used.

3.) File mode: reading the image description from a text file with the same name as the image + a configurable extension.

4.) No description: don't generate an image description, just batch upload the pictures.

The description of the post can be given via the config.json. Two variables in the post description can be give (see the config.json.example ).
