Personal art portfolio and gallery by Ishaat Chowdhury.

Built with Zola using a vendored Zallery theme. Images stored in Cloudflare R2, content managed via Sveltia CMS, deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

Architecture

Service	Domain	Purpose
Cloudflare Pages	artishchow.com	Static site hosting, auto-deploys from main
Cloudflare R2	images.artishchow.com	Image storage (public bucket)
Sveltia CMS	artishchow.com/admin/	Git-based CMS with editorial workflow

Project Structure

config.toml                  # Zola site config
content/artwork/<slug>.md    # Artwork posts (TOML frontmatter, flat files)
themes/zallery/              # Vendored theme (customized for remote images)
static/admin/                # Sveltia CMS (config.yml + index.html)
sass/                        # Site-level Sass overrides
templates/                   # Site-level template overrides

Prerequisites

• Zola (static site generator)

Development

zola serve    # Local dev server with hot reload → http://127.0.0.1:1111
zola build    # Production build → ./public/
zola check    # Validate internal links

Adding Artwork

Each artwork post is a flat file at content/artwork/<slug>.md with TOML frontmatter:

+++
title = "Artwork Title"
description = "Optional description"
date = 2026-03-12
[taxonomies]
tags = ["Tag1", "Tag2"]
[extra]
thumbnail = "https://images.artishchow.com/20260312_D19_Thumbnail.jpg"
+++

{{ img(src="https://images.artishchow.com/20260312_D19_Doux.jpg", alt="Description") }}

Conventions

• Slug format: YYYYMMDD-dN-title (e.g., 20260312-d19-doux)
• Image filenames: YYYYMMDD_DN_Description.webp (e.g., 20251119_D4_Kasasagi.webp)
• Thumbnails: 800×800, WebP format

Image Handling

The theme supports two image sources:

• Remote (R2): URLs starting with http are used directly
• Local: Filenames are processed through Zola's built-in resize_image()

New posts use R2 URLs. Older posts with colocated images continue to work.

Mobile Workflow

1. Upload original + thumbnail to R2 via Cloudflare Dashboard
2. Open artishchow.com/admin/ and sign in with a GitHub PAT
3. Create a post — the CMS auto-prepends the R2 URL to bare filenames on save
4. Save creates a PR (editorial workflow) — merge to deploy
