How to Install LibrePhotos on EndeavourOS Latest

LibrePhotos is a self-hosted Google Photos alternative that allows you to store and manage your photos, videos, and albums in a secure and private manner. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the steps to install LibrePhotos on EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure you have the following:

Step 1: Install Required Dependencies

Before installing LibrePhotos, you need to install some dependencies. Run the following command to install the necessary dependencies:

sudo pacman -S git python python-pip libjpeg-turbo libimagequant postgresql imagemagick zbar uwsgi uwsgi-plugin-python

Step 2: Clone the LibrePhotos Repository

Next, you need to clone the LibrePhotos repository to your system. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos.git

Step 3: Install Python Dependencies

Once the repository is cloned, change to the librephotos directory and install the Python dependencies:

cd librephotos
sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 4: Configure the Database

LibrePhotos requires a PostgreSQL database to store and manage your data. Run the following command to create a new user and database in PostgreSQL:

sudo su - postgres
createuser -P librephotos
createdb -O librephotos librephotosdb
exit

Step 5: Configure the Application

Next, you need to create a configuration file for LibrePhotos. Run the following command to copy the sample configuration file:

cp librephotos/settings/local.sample.py librephotos/settings/local.py

Next, open the librephotos/settings/local.py file with a text editor and update the following variables:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
        'NAME': 'librephotosdb',
        'USER': 'librephotos',
        'PASSWORD': '<your_postgresql_password>',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '5432',
    }
}

SECRET_KEY = '<your_secret_key>'
DEBUG = False
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['<your_domain_name_or_public_ip_address>', 'localhost']

Make sure to replace <your_postgresql_password> and <your_secret_key> with your own values. Also, update <your_domain_name_or_public_ip_address> with your domain name or public IP address.

Step 6: Migrate the Database

Once the application is configured, you need to migrate the database. Run the following command to create the necessary database tables:

python manage.py migrate

Step 7: Create a Superuser

Create a superuser account for the LibrePhotos application. Run the following command and follow the prompts:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Step 8: Run the Application

Finally, you can run the application using the following command:

uwsgi --http :8000 --wsgi-file librephotos/wsgi.py --master --processes 4 --threads 2 --static-map /static=./librephotos/static

The application will be available at http://<your_domain_name_or_public_ip_address>:8000/.
