node-image-gallery-server

Dockerized image gallery server and frontend app. Build with Node.js
Browse your photo storage, filled with jpg or png files.

the use case

Primary not for production. Use it on your own risk. I use it in a LAN setup with a stand alone docker server (ubuntu 20 server) in combination with jwilder's nginx proxy.

setup

• clone this repository

git clone ...

configure

config/default.config

1. rename the config/.default.conf to default.config

This is the shared configuration file. Change:

STORE_ROOT_PATH=/path/to/my/photos
STORE_THUMBNAIL_PATH=/path/to/the/gallerythumbnails

.env.default

2. rename the file: .env.default to .env

This is the environment file for docker-compose. All keys from the default.config can be overwritten with the environment: keys in the docker-compose files.

STORE_ROOT_PATH=/path/to/my/photos
STORE_THUMBNAIL_PATH=/path/to/the/gallerythumbnails

run it

1. The server app

   docker-compose -f docker-compose-server.yml up -d

2. The generator app

• Build the image

  docker-compose -f docker-compose-generator.yml up -d

• run it

  docker-compose -f docker-compose-generator-replicas-binary.yml up -d

• or run it in development

  docker-compose -f docker-compose-generator-replicas.yml up -d

3. The frontend build pipeline for development

• For live editing

  docker-compose -f docker-compose-frontend.yml up -d

the proxy

i use jwilder/nginx-proxy to map the apps on a qualified hostname.

• Just run before:

docker-compose -f docker-compose-proxy.yml

• edit your local hosts file. add:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gallery.hostname
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx frontend.gallery.hostname

• edit your .env and replace hostname with your own

SERVER_VIRTUAL_HOST=gallery.hostname
FRONTEND_VIRTUAL_HOST=frontend.gallery.hostname
