HomeGallery is a free and open-source web application for managing your personal photo and video collections. It allows you to upload, organize, and share your media files with ease. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install HomeGallery on a Fedora Server Latest.
Before proceeding with the installation, you need to ensure that you have the following:
The first step is to install the required packages for HomeGallery. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo dnf install -y php-gd php-zip php-mysqlnd mariadb mariadb-server
This command will install the necessary packages for HomeGallery to work.
Next, you need to download the latest version of HomeGallery from the official website. You can do this by using the following command:
wget https://github.com/tobil/homegallery/archive/master.zip
This command will download the HomeGallery zip file to your server.
Extract the HomeGallery zip file you just downloaded with the following command:
unzip master.zip
This command will extract the contents of the zip file to a directory named homegallery-master.
Now, move the HomeGallery directory to your Apache web server's root directory (/var/www/html) with the following command:
sudo mv homegallery-master /var/www/html/homegallery
Next, grant the necessary permissions to the HomeGallery directory using the following commands:
sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/homegallery
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/homegallery
These commands will ensure that the Apache web server has the necessary permissions to access the HomeGallery directory and its subdirectories.
Now, you need to create a database and a user for HomeGallery. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo mysql -u root
This command will start the MySQL console.
CREATE DATABASE homegallery;
CREATE USER 'homegallery_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON homegallery.* TO 'homegallery_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;
These commands will create a database named "homegallery", a user named "homegallery_user", and grant all privileges to the user on the database.
Copy the file config.sample.php in the HomeGallery directory to config.php:
cd /var/www/html/homegallery
cp config.sample.php config.php
Edit the config.php file by replacing the database connection settings with your own. You should have something like this:
$config = [
'db_host' => 'localhost',
'db_name' => 'homegallery',
'db_user' => 'homegallery_user',
'db_pass' => 'yourpassword',
'app_timezone' => 'Europe/London',
'app_secret' => 'yoursecret',
'app_url' => '',
];
Finally, you can access HomeGallery by navigating to http://localhost/homegallery in your web browser. You should see the HomeGallery login page. Enter the default username "admin" and the default password "password" to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed HomeGallery on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start uploading your photos and videos and enjoy using HomeGallery.
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!
