How to Install Photo Stream on NetBSD

Photo Stream is a simple web-based photo gallery tool that allows you to create a photo gallery and share it with others. It is based on PHP and requires a web server with PHP support. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Photo Stream on NetBSD.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure that:

  • You have a NetBSD server with root access.
  • You have PHP installed on your server.
  • You have a web server (e.g., Apache) installed on your server.

Step 1: Download Photo Stream

The first step is to download Photo Stream from the official GitHub repository:

$ git clone https://github.com/waschinski/photo-stream.git

This will create a new directory called photo-stream in your current working directory.

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Photo Stream requires some dependencies to work properly. You can install them using the following command:

$ cd photo-stream
$ php composer.phar install

Step 3: Configure Photo Stream

The next step is to configure Photo Stream. You can do this by copying the config.example.php file to config.php:

$ cp config.example.php config.php

Edit the config.php file according to your needs. Make sure to set the correct database credentials and other settings.

Step 4: Create a Database

Photo Stream requires a MySQL/MariaDB database to store the photo metadata. You can create a new database using the following commands:

$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:

> create database photostream;
> grant all privileges on photostream.* to 'photouser'@'localhost' identified by 'password';
> exit

Replace password with a secure password of your choice.

Step 5: Import the Database Schema

Photo Stream comes with a database schema that you need to import into the database. You can do this using the following command:

$ mysql -u photouser -p photostream <  database/schema.sql

Step 6: Run Photo Stream

You can now run Photo Stream by starting your web server and accessing the URL http://yourdomain.com/photo-stream. You will be asked to create a new user account before you can use the tool.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Photo Stream on NetBSD. Now you can create a beautiful photo gallery and share it with your friends and family.
