Aim of the project

The aim of this project is to make a simple and user-friendly photo gallery application, that is easy to host on a personal server, to easily view the photos located on that server.

Main features

The software is still in early development, and many of the following features, have not been implemented yet.

  • Closely tied to the file system. The website presents the images found on the local filesystem of the server, directories are mapped to albums.
  • User management. Each user is created along with a path on the local filesystem, photos within that path can be accessed by that user.
  • Photo sharing. Photos and albums can easily be shared with other users or publicly with a unique URL.
  • Made for photography. The website is ment as a way to present photographies, and thus supports RAW file formats, and EXIF parsing.

Setup development environment

This projected is based of the GrandStack starter project.

Local setup

  1. Download Neo4j Desktop
  2. Install and open Neo4j Desktop.

  4. Set password to "letmein" (as suggested by api/.env), and click "Create".
  5. Make sure that the default credentials in api/.env are used. Leave them as follows: NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687 NEO4J_USER=neo4j NEO4J_PASSWORD=letmein
  6. Click "Manage".
  7. Click "Plugins".
  8. Find "APOC" and click "Install".
  9. Click the "play" button at the top of left the screen, which should start the server. (screenshot 2)
  10. Wait until it says "RUNNING".

/api

Install dependencies

(cd ./ui && npm install)
(cd ./api && npm install)

Start API server

cd ./api && npm start

/ui

This will start the GraphQL API in the foreground, so in another terminal session start the UI development server:

Start UI server

cd ./ui && npm start

The site can now be accessed at localhost:1234. And the graphql playground at localhost:4001/graphql
