Getting started (also works on Raspberry Pi) ### 1.1 [Install and Run with Docker (recommended)](docker/README.md) [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) with [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/) is the official and recommend way of installing and running *Pigallery2*. It contains all necessary dependencies, auto restarts on reboot, supports https, easy to upgrade to newer versions. For configuration and docker-compose files read more [here](docker/README.md) or check all builds: https://hub.docker.com/r/bpatrik/pigallery2/tags/ ### 1.2 Direct Install (if you are familiar with Node.js and building npm packages from source) As an alternative, you can also directly install Node.js and the app and run it natively. ### 1.2.0 [Install Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) Download and extract ```bash curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash - sudo apt-get install -y nodejs ``` Full node install on raspberry pi description: https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/nodejs_raspberrypi.asp ### 1.2.1 Install PiGallery2 #### 1.2.1-a Install from release ```bash cd ~ wget https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/releases/download/1.8.0/pigallery2.zip unzip pigallery2.zip -d pigallery2 cd pigallery2 npm install ``` #### 1.2.1-b Install from source **Note:** A build requires a machine with around 2GB or memory. ```bash cd ~ wget https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/archive/master.zip unzip master.zip cd pigallery2-master # enter the unzipped directory npm install npm run build ``` **Note**: It is recommended to create a release version with `npm run create-release` on a more powerful machine and deploy that to you server. **Note**: you can use `npm run create-release -- --languages=fr,ro` to restrict building to the listed languages (English is added by default) #### 1.2.2 Run PiGallery2 ```bash npm start ``` To configure it, run `PiGallery2` first to create `config.json` file, then edit it and restart. The app has a nice UI for settings, you may use that too. Default user: `admin` pass: `admin`. (It is not possible to change the admin password, you need to create an other user and delete the default `admin` user, see #220) **Note**: First run, you might have file access issues and port 80 issue, see [#115](https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/issues/115). Running `npm start -- --Server-port=8080` will start the app on port 8080 that does not require `root` Adding read/write permissions to all files can solve the file access issue `chmod -R o-w .`, see [#98](https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/issues/98). ##### 1.2.2.1 Run on startup You can run the app up as a service to run it on startup. Read more at [#42](https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/issues/42#issuecomment-458340945) ### 1.3 Advanced configuration You can set up the app the following ways: * Using the UI * Manually editing the `config.json` * Through switches * Like: `node start -- --Server-port=3000 --Client-authenticationRequired=false` * You can check the generated `config.json` for the config hierarchy * Through environmental variable * like set env. variable `Server-port` to `3000` Full list of configuration options are available at the [MANPAGE.md](MANPAGE.md). ### 1.4 Useful links/tips: #### using nginx It is recommended to use a reverse proxy like nginx before node https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5009324/node-js-nginx-what-now #### making https With cerbot & nginx it is simple to set up secure connection. You have no excuse not doing so. https://certbot.eff.org/ #### node install error: If you get error during module installation, make sure you have everything to build node modules from source ```bash apt-get install build-essential libkrb5-dev gcc g++ ``` ## 2. Translate the page to your own language 1. [Install Pigallery2](#121-b-install-from-source) from source (with the release it won't work) 2. add your language e.g: fr * copy `src/frontend/translate/messages.en.xls` to `src/frontend/translate/messages.fr.xls` * add the new translation to the `angular.json` `projects->pigallery2->i18n->locales` section 3. translate the file by updating the `` tags 4. test if it works: build and start the app ```bash npm install npm run build npm start ``` 5. (optional) create a pull request at github to add your translation to the project. **Note**: you can also build your own release with as described in [1.1.1-b Install from source](#121-b-install-from-source); ## 3.

Suggest/endorse new features You are welcome to suggest new features to the application via [github issues](https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/issues). Unfortunatly, lately I only have a limited time for this hobby project of mine. So, I mostly focuse on those features that are align with my needs. Sorry :(. Although, I try to fixs bugs ASAP (that can still take from a few days to months). I also try to implement some of the feature requests that have a lots of 'likes' (i.e.: `+1`-s or thumbs ups) on it. If you have a feature that you really would like to happen, I welcome contributions to the app. See [CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/bpatrik/pigallery2/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md) for more details. ## 5. Known errors * IOS map issue * Map on IOS prevents using the buttons in the image preview navigation, see #155 * Video support on weak servers (like raspberry pi) with low upload rate * video playback may use up too much resources and the server might not response for a while. Enable video transcoding in the app, to transcode the videos to lover bitrate. ## 6.
