Photo Stream is a project designed to help you create a simple web-based photo gallery that you can access from anywhere. It's open source, and you can download it from the official GitHub repository. In this tutorial, we will explain how to install Photo Stream on Fedora Server Latest.
Before we start, make sure you have the following:
To install Photo Stream, you need to install several dependencies first. Open a terminal and run the following command to install them:
sudo dnf install -y git python3 python3-pip python3-setuptools python3-wheel
This command will install git, Python3, pip, setuptools, and wheel.
Next, you need to clone the Photo Stream repository from GitHub. To do so, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/waschinski/photo-stream.git
This command will clone the latest version of Photo Stream into a new directory called photo-stream.
Now that you have cloned the Photo Stream repository, you need to install it using pip. Change to the directory where you cloned the repository (photo-stream) and run the following command:
sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt
This command will install all the necessary Python dependencies for Photo Stream.
Before running Photo Stream, you need to create a configuration file for it. Change to the photo-stream directory and copy the config.example.py file to config.py using the following command:
cd photo-stream
cp config.example.py config.py
Afterward, you need to open the config.py file in a text editor and update the following settings:
PHOTOS_DIR - The directory where your photos are storedTITLE - The title of your galleryDESCRIPTION - A short description of your gallerySave the changes and close the file.
Once you have configured Photo Stream, you can run it using the following command:
python3 photo_stream/main.py

For example, to start the server on port 8000, you would run:
python3 photo_stream/main.py -p 8000
Finally, you can access your newly created Photo Stream by opening a web browser and navigating to http://<your-server-ip>:8080.
