ImageStore is a platform for hosting and sharing images. It is available on GitHub and can be easily installed on macOS. This tutorial will guide you through the installation process step-by-step.
Before installing ImageStore, you must have the following software installed on your macOS system:
Open Terminal on your macOS system and navigate to the directory where you want to install ImageStore. Run the following command to clone the ImageStore repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/gregordr/ImageStore.git
This command will create a directory named "ImageStore" in your current location.
Navigate into the newly created ImageStore directory in Terminal:
cd ImageStore
Run the following command to install the dependencies required by ImageStore:
bundle install
This command will install the dependencies listed in the Gemfile.
Run the following commands to create the database and migrate the schema:
rake db:create
rake db:migrate
These commands will create the necessary tables in your PostgreSQL database.
Run the following command to start the Rails server:
rails server
This command will start the server on port 3000.
Open a web browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000. You should see the ImageStore homepage.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed ImageStore on your macOS system. You can now host and share images on the platform.
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!
