-====== LibrePhotos ====== 
- 
-[[https://docs.librephotos.com/|LibrePhotos]] is a great open-source solution for your own photos management, backup and organization. 
- 
-There are other solutions out there like: 
-  * [[https://immich.app/|Immich]], which i covered [[sailing:immich|here]], which i am currently preferring to LibrePhotos since they enabled to import existing photo collections. 
-  * [[https://www.photoprism.app/|PhotoPrism]], which i have no tried yet, but it requires a paid recurrent membership to access some features, and i don't like that. 
-  
-LibrePhotos seems a fine solution while providing a good web UI and nice Android apps both official [[https://github.com/akshay9/librephotos-mobile|LibrePhotos]] and third party [[https://uhuru.photos/|Uhuru Photos]] that //just works//.  
- 
-The biggest drawback to LibrePhotos is that is does not support sub-paths in the Web UI, so you need to expose a port over your tunnels at this time, bypassing NGINX reverse proxy, it's authentication ans HTTPS (this could probably be set-up for LibrePhotos manually).  
- 
-The base-url issue can be tracked [[https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos/issues/757|here]]. 
- 
-You will be using //Docker// because base-metal install is pretty complex. 
-<code bash> 
- > emerge -vp docker docker-compose 
-</code> 
- 
-The ocmposer YAML is here: 
-<code bash 
- > mkdir /data/daemons/librephotos 
- > cd /data/daemons/librephotos 
- > git clone https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos-docker.git 
- > cd librephotos-docker 
- > cp librephotos.env .env 
-</code> 
- 
-now edit your **.env** and at very least set: 
-<code> 
-scanDirectory=/data/Photos 
-data=/data/daemons/librephotos/data 
-httpPort=2283 
-</code> 
- 
-set any port you like. 2283 is just an example. Then start the containers: 
-<code bash> 
- > cd /data/daemons/librephotos/librephotos-docker 
- > docker-compose up -d 
-</code> 
- 
-containers should automatically restart at reboot too. 
- 
-===== Reverse Proxy ===== 
- 
-Since LibrePhotos does not support subpaths, you cannot use NGINX to serve it. The best solution you cna use is to add a tunnel for port **2283** from your server to your external server, and maybe also add an automatic recirect in NGINX: 
- 
-<file conf librephotos.conf> 
-location /photos { 
-        auth_pam off; 
-         return      301 http://$host:2283/; 
-} 
-</file> 
- 
-and add it to your **main.conf**: 
-<code> 
-include folders/librephotos.conf; 
-</code> 
- 
-and restart NGINX: 
-<code bash> 
- > /etc/init.t/nginx restart 
-</code> 
- 
-this will only redirect your browser, not actually use NGINX to reverse-proxy the service.
