How to setup

Downloading & installing

Path

Download this project and move it into your website(s) folder. Usually under /var/www/html/ on Linux.

Imagik

You will need to install the image-magik PHP plugin for thumbnail creation, on Ubuntu its as easy as:

apt install php-imagick

PHP and Nginx

This project also requires PHP 8.1 and was made with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Nginx in mind, so I reccommend running this gallery on such.

With Nginx, you may need to configure the /etc/nginx/sites-available/default.conf for the new version on PHP. You must find the allowed index list and add index.php as such:

# Add index.php to the list if you are using PHP
index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

Then you have to find the fastcgi-php configuration and uncomment the lines and update the php version to 8.1 and now the config should look like the following:

location ~ \.php$ {
    include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php8.1-fpm.sock;
}

With that, you may need to increase the client_max_body_size in the nginx.conf, which should be located under /etc/nginx/nginx.conf. There make sure your http looks like this:

http {
    client_body_buffer_size 16K;
    client_header_buffer_size 1k;
    client_max_body_size 32M;

Most important of them being client_max_body_size.

Database setup

If you made it this far, congrats! We're not even close to done. Next you will need to setup your database. If you're running a seperate server for databases, that'll also work.

Note:

If you run into errors with connecting to the database, you may need to install php-mysqli, on Ubuntu that command will be:

apt install php-mysqli

You first need to head over to app/server/conn.php and set the correct information, if you're using localhost, this should be the following details:

• localhost
• (username)
• (password)
• Gallery

I recommend using a database name such as Gallery, but others should work just as well.

I also recommend not using root for this and setting up a user specifically for this, but I will not go through the process of making a such user here.

You will next need to setup the following 5 tables:

Images

CREATE TABLE images (
    id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    imagename VARCHAR(50) UNIQUE, alt VARCHAR(255),
    tags VARCHAR(255),
    author VARCHAR(50),
    last_modified TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    upload_date TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

Users

CREATE TABLE users (
    id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    username VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL UNIQUE,
    password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, admin bool,
    last_modified TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

Tokens

CREATE TABLE tokens (
    id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    code VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
    used BOOL,
    timestamp TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

Logs

CREATE TABLE logs (
    id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    ipaddress VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
    action VARCHAR(255),
    time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

Bans

CREATE TABLE bans (
    id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY AUTO_INCREMENT,
    ipaddress VARCHAR(16) NOT NULL,
    reason VARCHAR(255),
    time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
    length VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    permanent BOOL NOT NULL
);

Manifest

In the app/settings/manifest.json you have a list of infomation about your website. You must change user_name to your prefered name, is_testing to false (or anything else) as that is used for development and upload_max to your prefered file size max in MBs.

Images Folder

Since there is currently no automated install script for this gallery, you'll have to make your own folders to hold images in. To do that, go into the root directory of the gallery and type the following commands:

mkdir images
mkdir images/thumbnails
mkdir images/previews

This'll make 3 new folders. That is where all the uploaded images will be held in. But before you go anywhere, you will need to chown the folders so Nginx can access the images within them, so do the following:

chown www-data:www-data -R images

Creating an account

For now, there is no automated way of doing this, so you will have to go into your database on a terminal and type the following command:

INSERT INTO tokens (code, used) VALUES('UserToken', False) 

Head over to the Login section off the app and click the Need an account button, from there you can enter your own details. Once you get to the token section enter UserToken. And with that, you have now set up your own image gallery!

Usage

Admin

As an admin, you can do things such as modifying other people's posts, reseting users passwords and checking logs for sussy behaviour. With that, use these tools with respect to others and don't abuse them.

If you trust someone enough, you can set them to a moderator through the settings > users > toggle admin. You can tell who is an admin by the green highlight to the left of their name.

Images

Uploading images is as simple as choosing the image you want to upload, then clicking upload! Keep in mind that not all formats play well as this gallery uses Imagik to generate thumbnails and preview images, so images such as GIFs do not work as of now. Supported file formats include JPG, JPEG, PNG and WEBP.

You should also keep in mind the file size, by default images of 20MBs should be able to get uploaded. But if you run into issues, either raise the file size in the manifest.json or locate your php.ini on your webserver, usually under /etc/php/8.1/fpm/php.ini, and modify upload_max_filesize, then post_max_size to a same or greater value.
