UberGallery is a simple and effective gallery management tool for your website. Here’s how you can install UberGallery on your FreeBSD Latest server.
The first step is to install the Apache web server and PHP on your FreeBSD Latest system. You can do this by running the following command:
sudo pkg install apache24 php74
Once the installation is complete, you can start the Apache service by running the following command:
sudo service apache24 start
You can download UberGallery from their official website at https://www.ubergallery.net. Once you have downloaded the file, extract it to your web server's document root directory.
sudo tar -xzvf ubergallery_v4.2.2.zip -C /usr/local/www/apache24/data/
Navigate to the config folder in the UberGallery directory and rename config-default.php to config.php.
cd /usr/local/www/apache24/data/ubergallery/config/
sudo mv config-default.php config.php
Next, open the config.php file in a text editor and make the necessary changes. Set your desired album title, gallery path and thumbnails directory, and configure the password-protection feature by setting enable_password to true and updating the password field.
define('GLOBAL_GALLERY_TITLE', 'My Album');
define('GLOBAL_GALLERY_PATH', '../galleries');
define('THUMBNAILS_DIR', 'thumbs');
define('ENABLE_PASSWORD', true);
define('PASSWORD', 'mypassword');
Save the config.php file when you are done.
You can now access UberGallery by visiting your web server's IP address followed by the folder name where you extracted the files. For example, if you extracted the files in /usr/local/www/apache24/data/, you can access UberGallery by visiting http://<server-ip>/ubergallery/ in your web browser.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed UberGallery on your FreeBSD Latest server!
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!
