The view named by -default-view (timeline, the default, or grid) is published
at the site root; the other is served under /timeline/ or /grid/. viewBase and
pageURL derive every page path, pager link and the Timeline<->Grid cross-link
from the single setting, and Build removes both timeline/ and grid/ on each run
so flipping the default never leaves a stale root behind.
Reimplemented on trunk (which has albums and the /manage feature) rather than
cherry-picked, since the original was written against an earlier base. Credit
for the edit/delete and default-view ideas goes to Santhosh Raju, now noted in
a README Contributors section.
- main.go: -default-view flag, validated (fatal on anything but timeline/grid)
- module.nix: services.photogallery.defaultView enum option
- templates: timeline/grid/day/album/albums cross-links use TimelineURL/GridURL
- tests: timeline-root, grid-root, and switch-cleanup
A new auth-gated web UI at /manage lists every post for inline editing of
caption, date and tags, with per-row and bulk delete and bulk tag add/remove.
It is backed by a small JSON API (all behind the same htpasswd Basic auth as
/upload, and unlinked from the public site):
GET /api/photos list posts (newest first)
POST /api/edit rewrite one sidecar (caption, date, tags)
POST /api/tags bulk add/remove tags across posts
POST /api/delete move posts to content/.trash/ (reversible)
GET /api/trash list trashed items
POST /api/restore move a trashed item back (409 on live-slug clash)
POST /api/trash/empty hard delete trashed items (id… or all=1)
Design notes:
- Editing only rewrites the .toml; the slug (and URL) never changes.
- Delete is reversible: image + sidecar move to content/.trash/ with a
timestamp suffix, excluded from the site (loadPhotos skips dirs). The only
hard delete is emptying the trash.
- Build now prunes: it drops the derived HTML trees (photo/ day/ album/ page/
grid/page/) and regenerates them, and pruneRenditions removes orphaned
images/thumbs/medium/og. Without this a deleted post would linger at its old
URL and on stale day/album pages; this also cleans up after a hand-removed
sidecar.
- Sidecars are written atomically (temp + rename) so a concurrent build never
observes a half-written file.
- Slugs and trash ids are validated as bare filenames, closing path traversal
and dotfile access.
- Every state-changing POST passes a sameOrigin (CSRF) check, since Basic-auth
credentials are replayed by the browser on every request to the host. It
honours Sec-Fetch-Site, falls back to Origin vs base-url/Host, and allows
header-less non-browser clients. Ported from the independent /manage on
plex/trunk-ng.
module.nix proxies /manage and /api/ to the app (nginx otherwise serves them
as missing static files). The apps are unchanged; the API is there for them to
adopt edit/delete later.
