UberGallery is a simple, but powerful PHP image gallery that has a beautiful and intuitive interface. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of UberGallery on your Arch Linux system.
The first step is to install the Apache web server on your Arch Linux system. You can do this by executing the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S apache
After the installation is complete, start the Apache service and enable it to start on boot using the following commands:
sudo systemctl start httpd.service
sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
You can check if the Apache web server is running by visiting http://localhost on your web browser. If you see the Apache test page, you have successfully installed Apache.
The next step is to install PHP on your system. You can do this by executing the following command in the terminal:
sudo pacman -S php php-apache
This will install PHP and Apache PHP module on your Arch Linux system, which will allow Apache to process PHP files.
UberGallery requires ImageMagick, which is a powerful image manipulation tool. You can install ImageMagick on your system by executing the following command:
sudo pacman -S imagemagick
Visit the UberGallery website, and download the latest version of UberGallery. You can download the file using the following command:
wget https://www.ubergallery.net/downloads/ubergallery.zip
Extract the downloaded file to the Apache web directory, which is /srv/http/ by default. You can do this by executing the following command:
sudo unzip ubergallery.zip -d /srv/http/
Now, rename the extracted directory to ubergallery using the following command:
sudo mv /srv/http/ubergallery-<version> /srv/http/ubergallery
By default, Apache does not have permission to access files and directories outside its root directory. To allow Apache to access the UberGallery directory, we need to modify the Apache configuration file.
Open the Apache configuration file httpd.conf in a text editor.
sudo nano /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
Add the following lines at the end of the file:
<Directory "/srv/http/ubergallery">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>
Save the file and exit the editor.
After making changes to the Apache configuration, restart Apache to apply the changes.
sudo systemctl restart httpd.service
You can now access UberGallery by visiting http://localhost/ubergallery/ on your web browser. If everything was done correctly, you should see the UberGallery interface.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed UberGallery on your Arch Linux system. Now, you can upload your photos to the /srv/http/ubergallery/images directory and start using UberGallery!
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
