# Simple Picture Gallery
A simple picture gallery. No database required. Photos can simply be stored in your file system. Add and remove photos. Simple picture gallery will automatically show them and create thumbnails.
All you need is your photos and [docker](https://www.docker.com/).
Simple Picture Gallery is a modern looking web app due to [Material UI](https://mui.com/material-ui/), [React Photo Album](https://react-photo-album.com/) and [Yet Another React Lightbox](https://yet-another-react-lightbox.com/).

## Getting Started
### Information
Folders should only contain images and folders. Folders should not contain any other files.
### Docker
An easy way to run simple picture gallery is with docker.
```shell
docker pull gitea.forstenlechner.dev/stefan/simple-picture-gallery:latest
docker run -p 3005:3001 -v /mnt/path/to/pictures:/usr/src/app/public --name my-picture-gallery gitea.forstenlechner.dev/stefan/simple-picture-gallery:latest
```
#### Customization
Create an environment file `.env` containing any of the following properties to customize your gallery. All properties are optional.
```properties
VITE_TITLE=My Gallery
VITE_APPBAR_COLOR=#F8AB2D
VITE_FAVICON_HREF=<URL to your favicon>
```
And run docker with `--env-file .env`
```shell
docker run -p 3005:3001 -v /mnt/path/to/pictures:/usr/src/app/public --env-file .env --name my-picture-gallery gitea.forstenlechner.dev/stefan/simple-picture-gallery:latest
```
### Docker compose
Even easier to run it using docker compose.
```dockerfile
services:
gallery:
image: gitea.forstenlechner.dev/stefan/simple-picture-gallery:latest
container_name: my-picture-gallery
environment:
# customize your gallery
- VITE_TITLE=My Gallery
- VITE_APPBAR_COLOR=#F8AB2D
restart: always
volumes:
- /mnt/path/to/pictures/:/usr/src/app/public
ports:
- "3005:3001"
```
### nginx
It is recommended to use a cache for the API calls so that not every request has to read from your file system again.
In case you are using nginx as reverse proxy already, here is an example config with a cache.
```nginx
http {
proxy_cache_path /var/cache/nginx levels=1:2 keys_zone=picture_gallery_cache:10m max_size=100m inactive=60m use_temp_path=off;
server {
...
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3005;
}
location ~ /(images|directories|folderspreview) {
proxy_cache picture_gallery_cache;
proxy_cache_valid 200 302 60m;
proxy_cache_min_uses 1;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3005;
}
server_name gallery.domain.com
...
}
}
```
> **_NOTE:_** `proxy_cache_path` and `proxy_cache` need to use the same zone.
See [nginx documentation](https://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html) for more details and parameters.
