How to Install Gossa on Alpine Linux Latest

Gossa is a web-based photo album software that allows you to manage your photos easily. Here's how you can install Gossa on Alpine Linux.

Prerequisites

Before we start, make sure that you have the following:

• A server running Alpine Linux latest
• Root access to the server
• Basic knowledge of the command line

Step 1: Install Dependencies

The first step is to install the dependencies required by Gossa. To do this, run the following command:

apk add --no-cache --virtual=build-dependencies go gcc musl-dev libjpeg-turbo-dev

This command will install the Go programming language, GCC, musl-dev, and libjpeg-turbo-dev.

Step 2: Clone Gossa Repository

Next, we need to clone the Gossa repository. To do this, run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pldubouilh/gossa.git

This will download the source code of Gossa to your server.

Step 3: Build Gossa

Now, we need to build Gossa from the source code. Change into the Gossa directory by running the following command:

cd gossa

Then, build Gossa by running the following command:

go build

This will create a binary file named gossa.

Step 4: Configure Gossa

Gossa needs to be configured before it can be used. Copy the example configuration file config_example.ini to config.ini by running the following command:

cp config_example.ini config.ini

Then, open config.ini using your preferred text editor and modify the settings according to your needs.

Step 5: Run Gossa

Finally, we can run Gossa. To start Gossa, run the following command:

./gossa

This will start Gossa and make it available on port 8080. If you want to change the port, you can modify the http_address setting in config.ini.

Conclusion

You now have a running instance of Gossa on Alpine Linux. You can access it by visiting http://your-server-ip:8080 in your web browser.
