How to Install UberGallery on NixOS

UberGallery is a simple, yet powerful, PHP based image gallery. It can be easily installed and customized to display your images in a unique and creative way.

In order to install UberGallery on NixOs, you need to follow these steps:

Step 1 - Install PHP and Apache

You need to install PHP and Apache web server on your NixOS machine. You can install both of these packages using Nix:

Step 3 - Extract UberGallery

Once you have downloaded UberGallery, you need to extract it to your desired location. For example, we will extract it to /var/www/html:

Step 4 - Configure Apache

You need to configure Apache web server to recognize the newly extracted UberGallery folder as the root folder for the web server. You can do this by editing the Apache configuration file at /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf. Add the following lines at the end of the file:

Alias /ubergallery /var/www/html/UberGallery-master
<Directory /var/www/html/UberGallery-master>
   Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
   AllowOverride All
   Order allow,deny
   allow from all
</Directory>

Step 5 - Enable Apache

Lastly, you need to start the Apache web server and make sure it is enabled on boot.

sudo systemctl enable httpd.service
sudo systemctl start httpd.service

Step 6 - Open UberGallery in your web browser

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost/ubergallery/.

You should now be able to access the UberGallery installation page and start using it to display your images.
