How to Install HomeGallery on Fedora Server Latest

HomeGallery is a free and open-source web application for managing your personal photo and video collections. It allows you to upload, organize, and share your media files with ease. In this tutorial, we will walk through the steps to install HomeGallery on a Fedora Server Latest.

Prerequisites

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

• A Fedora Server Latest instance
• A user account with sudo privileges
• Apache web server installed and configured
• PHP version 7.3 or higher installed and configured

Step 1: Install Required Packages

The first step is to install the required packages for HomeGallery. You can do this by running the following command:

sudo dnf install -y php-gd php-zip php-mysqlnd mariadb mariadb-server

This command will install the necessary packages for HomeGallery to work.

Step 2: Download HomeGallery

Next, you need to download the latest version of HomeGallery from the official website. You can do this by using the following command:

wget https://github.com/tobil/homegallery/archive/master.zip

This command will download the HomeGallery zip file to your server.

Step 3: Extract HomeGallery

Extract the HomeGallery zip file you just downloaded with the following command:

unzip master.zip

This command will extract the contents of the zip file to a directory named homegallery-master.

Step 4: Move HomeGallery to Web Server Root

Now, move the HomeGallery directory to your Apache web server's root directory (/var/www/html) with the following command:

sudo mv homegallery-master /var/www/html/homegallery

Step 5: Grant Permissions

Next, grant the necessary permissions to the HomeGallery directory using the following commands:

sudo chown -R apache:apache /var/www/html/homegallery
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/homegallery

These commands will ensure that the Apache web server has the necessary permissions to access the HomeGallery directory and its subdirectories.

Step 6: Create Database and User

Now, you need to create a database and a user for HomeGallery. You can do this by running the following commands:

sudo mysql -u root

This command will start the MySQL console.

CREATE DATABASE homegallery;
CREATE USER 'homegallery_user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON homegallery.* TO 'homegallery_user'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
EXIT;

These commands will create a database named "homegallery", a user named "homegallery_user", and grant all privileges to the user on the database.

Step 7: Configure HomeGallery

Copy the file config.sample.php in the HomeGallery directory to config.php:

cd /var/www/html/homegallery
cp config.sample.php config.php

Edit the config.php file by replacing the database connection settings with your own. You should have something like this:

$config = [
    'db_host' => 'localhost',
    'db_name' => 'homegallery',
    'db_user' => 'homegallery_user',
    'db_pass' => 'yourpassword',
    'app_timezone' => 'Europe/London',
    'app_secret' => 'yoursecret',
    'app_url' => '',
];

Step 8: Access HomeGallery

Finally, you can access HomeGallery by navigating to http://localhost/homegallery in your web browser. You should see the HomeGallery login page. Enter the default username "admin" and the default password "password" to log in.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed HomeGallery on your Fedora Server Latest. You can now start uploading your photos and videos and enjoy using HomeGallery.
