HomeGallery is an open-source software that offers an efficient and easy way of managing your photo collection. With HomeGallery, you can easily organize and view your photos, create albums, and share them with your friends and family. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the installation process of HomeGallery on the latest version of POP! OS.
Before installing the HomeGallery, it is essential to update your system to the latest version, which can be done by running the following command:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
Next, we will install the required dependencies for the HomeGallery. Run the following command on your terminal:
sudo apt install git npm nodejs
Now, we will clone the HomeGallery repository to our local system. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/tmiland/HomeGallery.git
The above command will clone the repository to your current directory.
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the HomeGallery directory and install it using npm:
cd HomeGallery
sudo npm install --unsafe-perm
After the installation, we need to configure HomeGallery to run on our system. Copy the config.example.js file to config.js:
cp config.example.js config.js
Now, edit the config.js file and replace the photos directory path with the path where you want to store your photos. You can also set a custom port and enable SSL if required.
nano config.js
Finally, we will start the HomeGallery server. Run the following command:
sudo npm start
Once the server is started, open your web browser and go to http://localhost:3000/ to access HomeGallery. If you have modified the default port in the config.js file, use that port instead of 3000.
In this tutorial, we have successfully installed HomeGallery on POP! OS latest version by cloning the repository and configured it to run on our local system. Now you can easily manage your photo collection and organize them using HomeGallery.
