Gossa is an open-source tool developed for managing and sharing photo galleries. It provides a simple and easy-to-use web interface for organizing your pictures. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install Gossa on FreeBSD Latest.
Before we install Gossa on our FreeBSD system, we need to update the system packages:
sudo pkg update && sudo pkg upgrade
We need to have Git installed on our FreeBSD system to download the Gossa source code.
sudo pkg install -y git
Gossa is written in Go programming language. We need to install Go on our FreeBSD system.
sudo pkg install -y go
We need to clone the latest version of Gossa repository from Github.
git clone https://github.com/pldubouilh/gossa.git
After cloning the repository, navigate inside the directory.
cd gossa
To build and install Gossa on our FreeBSD system, we need to run the following command:
sudo go run build.go install
This command will build Gossa and install it on your system.
Create a Gossa configuration file in the /usr/local/etc/gossa directory:
sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gossa
sudo nano /usr/local/etc/gossa/config.toml
Copy and paste the following lines into the config.toml file:
Path = "/usr/local/www/gossa"
Port = ":8080"
HttpMode = false
Save and close the file.
To start the Gossa web server, run the following command:
sudo gossa -c /usr/local/etc/gossa/config.toml
Now, open a web browser and go to http://localhost:8080. You should be able to see the Gossa dashboard.
You have successfully installed and configured Gossa on your FreeBSD Latest server. Now you can upload and manage your photos using Gossa web interface.
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!
