How to Install HomeGallery on EndeavourOS Latest

HomeGallery is a self-hosted web application for managing image galleries. In this tutorial, we will guide you on how to install HomeGallery on EndeavourOS latest using the terminal.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the installation, you need to have the following requirements:

  • A server running EndeavourOS latest
  • A non-root user with sudo privileges
  • Docker Installed

Step 1: Update your EndeavourOS System

Before installing any packages or applications on your EndeavourOS system, make sure to update it to the latest version.

sudo pacman -Syyu

Step 2: Install Git

Git is required to clone the HomeGallery repository. Install Git using pacman:

sudo pacman -S git

Step 3: Install Docker

HomeGallery is a dockerized application, so we need to install Docker on EndeavourOS. Run the following commands:

sudo pacman -S docker
sudo systemctl enable docker
sudo systemctl start docker

Step 4: Clone HomeGallery Repository

Git clone the HomeGallery repository using the command below:

git clone https://github.com/tommyblue/home-gallery.git

Once the cloning is complete, navigate to the HomeGallery directory:

cd home-gallery

Step 5: Configure HomeGallery

Before running HomeGallery, we need to configure it. HomeGallery provides an example configuration file, so we'll copy and modify it. 

cp .env.example .env
nano .env

Change the following settings in the .env file to match your system:

HYDRA_URL=http://localhost:3001
APP_URL=http://localhost:8080

Save and exit the file.

Step 6: Build and Start HomeGallery

Now it's time to build and start HomeGallery. Docker-compose is used to build and start the containers. The --build tag tells Docker to rebuild the containers using the updated configuration.

sudo docker-compose up --build

HomeGallery will take some time to download and build all the required images, so be patient. Once everything is done, you should be able to access HomeGallery in your web browser by visiting http://localhost:8080.

Congratulations, you have successfully installed HomeGallery on EndeavourOS Latest. You can now upload your images and manage your galleries.
