Gossa is a self-hosted photo gallery written in Golang. It allows you to browse your photo collection, view your photos in a full-screen slideshow, and download your original photos. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Gossa on Void Linux.
Before installing Gossa, you need to have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the required dependencies for building and running Gossa. Open your terminal and run the following command:
sudo xbps-install -S git go gcc
This command will install Git, Go, and GCC.
The next step is to clone the Gossa repository from Github. Run the following command to clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/pldubouilh/gossa.git
This command will create a new directory named "gossa" which contains the Gossa source code.
To build and install Gossa, run the following commands:
cd gossa
go build
sudo cp gossa /usr/local/bin
These commands will build the Gossa binary and copy it to the /usr/local/bin directory.
Before running Gossa, you need to configure it by creating a configuration file. Run the following command:
cp config.yaml.sample config.yaml
This command will create a sample configuration file named "config.yaml". Open this file using your favorite text editor and modify it according to your needs. You can specify the path to your photo directory, the web server port, and other settings.
To start Gossa, run the following command:
gossa -c config.yaml
This command will start Gossa and listen on the web server port specified in the configuration file. Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 (replace 8080 with your configured port) to access your photo collection.
In this tutorial, we showed you how to install Gossa on Void Linux. Now you can easily browse and share your photo collection with your friends and family using Gossa.
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!
