# photogallery
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A minimal static photo gallery with an Atom feed and an upload API.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## How it works
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Drop `photo.jpg` + `photo.toml` into the content directory (or upload via the web UI at `/upload`).
|
||
|
|
2. The binary watches the directory and rebuilds the static site on any change.
|
||
|
|
3. nginx serves `public/` and proxies `/upload` to the local API, secured with htpasswd.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Sidecar format
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```toml
|
||
|
|
caption = "Tempelhof at sunrise"
|
||
|
|
date = "2026-06-14"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If no `.toml` is present the filename is used as the caption and today's date as the date.
|
||
|
|
|

## Using as a NixOS flake module
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 1. Add to your flake inputs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
inputs = {
|
||
|
|
nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
|
||
|
|
photogallery.url = "github:youruser/photogallery";
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 2. Import the module
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
nixosConfigurations.myhost = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
|
||
|
|
modules = [
|
||
|
|
inputs.photogallery.nixosModules.default
|
||
|
|
./configuration.nix
|
||
|
|
];
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### 3. Configure
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```nix
|
||
|
|
services.photogallery = {
|
||
|
|
enable = true;
|
||
|
|
baseURL = "https://photos.yourdomain.tld";
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Optional: built-in nginx vhost
|
||
|
|
nginx = {
|
||
|
|
enable = true;
|
||
|
|
domain = "photos.yourdomain.tld";
|
||
|
|
htpasswdFile = "/etc/nginx/.htpasswd-gallery";
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
};
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Create the htpasswd file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
nix-shell -p apacheHttpd --run \
|
||
|
|
"htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/.htpasswd-gallery youruser"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

## Bootstrap (first build)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`buildGoModule` needs a `go.sum` and the correct `vendorHash`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
# 1. Generate go.sum
|
||
|
|
go mod tidy
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 2. Commit go.sum
|
||
|
|
git add go.sum && git commit -m "add go.sum"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 3. Get the vendorHash — this will fail and print the correct hash
|
||
|
|
nix build
|
||
|
|
# error: hash mismatch ... got: sha256-XXXXX...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# 4. Paste the hash into flake.nix, then build again
|
||
|
|
nix build
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Uploading via curl
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```bash
|
||
|
|
curl -u user:password \
|
||
|
|
-F "image=@photo.jpg" \
|
||
|
|
-F "caption=Tempelhof at sunrise" \
|
||
|
|
-F "date=2026-06-14" \
|
||
|
|
https://photos.yourdomain.tld/upload
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Or open `https://photos.yourdomain.tld/upload` in a browser.
