UberGallery is a simple and easy-to-use PHP image gallery that allows you to display images in a responsive and organized way. In this tutorial, we'll be discussing how to install UberGallery on Alpine Linux latest.
Before we can start with the installation process, we need to make sure that some required packages are installed on our system. We can do this by running the following command:
sudo apk update && sudo apk add git php7 php7-gd
This command will update the package cache and install Git, PHP 7, and the PHP GD extension, which is required for image manipulation.
Once the required packages are installed, we can proceed with cloning the UberGallery repository from GitHub. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/UberGallery/UberGallery.git
This will create a folder named "UberGallery" in your current working directory, which contains all the files required for UberGallery.
You need to configure your web server to serve the UberGallery files. Here, we’ll be using Nginx as our web server. If you’re using a different web server, the configuration will differ, but you can refer to the UberGallery documentation for more information.
Create a new Nginx virtual host configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/ubergallery.conf
Add the following configuration to the file:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /path/to/UberGallery;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_path_info;
}
}
Replace "example.com" with your own domain name, and replace "/path/to/UberGallery" with the actual path to your UberGallery folder.
We don't need to change any PHP settings for UberGallery to work, but it's always a good idea to add some security measures. Navigate to the PHP configuration file:
sudo nano /etc/php7/php.ini
Find and change the following PHP settings:
display_errors = Off
log_errors = On
disable_functions = exec,passthru,shell_exec,system
These changes will disable error messages being displayed to end-users, enable logging of PHP errors, and disable some potentially harmful PHP functions that could be used for an attack.
Once everything is set up, you can test your installation by browsing to your site's domain name in your web browser. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the UberGallery home page where you can select the images to display.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed UberGallery on Alpine Linux latest. You can now start organizing and selecting your images to display in your gallery.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
