 * Hi everyone,
 * I want to set up an image gallery with jpgs from a directory placed at the wordpress
   root. Its content is accessible by URL and managed externally by a bash script
   and updated through sftp.
 * I have found many cool galleries/carousels that would work but WordPress media
   library allows only static images that have to be uploaded manually through admin.
 * Is there any way to display dynamic content without going though a dev. with 
   some js and ajax ? Or any solution that might help me.
 * Thank you all.

 * You can also import images to the Media Library in another way, even automatically.
   Have a look at the comments, they contain many examples: [https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_attachment/](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_attachment/)
 * So you could use e.g. a WP-Cron or System-Cron to regularly import new added 
   images. If necessary, you can also start this via the bash script after it has
   uploaded new images.
 * Also you could import the images directly into WordPress via REST-API instead
   of FTP: [https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/media/#create-a-media-item](https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/reference/media/#create-a-media-item)
 * Since these are all very individual requirements, you probably won’t find anything
   ready-made for this. The same is true for the other way: don’t import the images
   but embed them directly into WordPress as a gallery. This would also probably
   only be possible through individual development.
