-====== Piwigo ====== 
- 
-[[https://piwigo.org|Piwigo]] is a long-lasting, solid and versatile photo gallery software. It is based on PHP and it's been around 21+ years, so for some it might be considered as //ancient//, but it's not and while maybe not fancy based on new technology, it's under active development today and widely used all around the world.  
- 
-There are also mobile apps associated to Piwigo that can take care of backup and mobile editing. 
- 
-===== Installation ===== 
- 
-Piwigo is PHP based, so you need to follow [[gentoo:separated-php|Using independent PHP for different services]] to create an instance of PHP-FPM for Piwigo. I will assume you have your PHP-FPM up and running before going forward. 
- 
-==== Prerequisites · setup ==== 
- 
-Ensure you have PHP emerged with the following USE flags, if you don't have it already, emerge it again: 
-<code bash> 
-echo dev-lang/php exif fpm gd mysqli >> /etc/portage/package.use/piwigo 
-emerge -vp php 
-emerge -vp dev-php/pecl-imagick 
-</code> 
-Also emerge **pecl-imagick** to add ImageMagick support. 
- 
-==== Initial setup ==== 
- 
-Now, create the usual service user that i will call **piwigo**. This user should be member of the **photos** group: 
-<code bash> 
-useradd -d /data/daemons/piwigo -m -g photos piwigo 
-</code> 
- 
-The full Piwigo installation guides are [[https://piwigo.org/guides|here]]. 
- 
-You need to download and unpack Piwigo latest release: 
-<code bash> 
-su - piwigo 
-wget -O piwigo.zip "https://piwigo.org/download/dlcounter.php?code=latest" 
-unzip piwigo.zip 
-</code> 
- 
-This will create a subfolder called **piwigo**. 
- 
-==== Database setup ==== 
- 
-See [[gentoo:mysql|MariaDB / MySQL]] to setup the database.  
- 
-You need to create a database called **piwigo** with a user called **piwigo** with a strong enough password. 
- 
-Ensure your database is running! 
- 
- 
-==== Reverse Proxy setup ==== 
- 
-<file - piwigo.conf> 
-location /piwigo/ { 
-        root /data/daemons/piwigo/; 
-        index index.php; 
- 
-        location ~ /.*\.php$ { 
-                try_files $uri =404; 
-                fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$; 
-                include fastcgi_params; 
-                fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename; 
-                fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9002; 
-                fastcgi_read_timeout 300; 
-        } 
-} 
-</file> 
-Make sure the port (9002) matches your PHP-FPM port! 
- 
-==== Web installation ==== 
- 
-Open your broser to **https://mydomain.com/piwigo/index.php** and follow the instructions there! 
- 
-Make sure to specify **127.0.0.1** instead of //localhost// in the database address. 
- 
- 
-==== Permissions, securization and tuning ==== 
- 
-The piwigo home folder comes with some weird defaults, you should remove permissions for //others//: 
-<code bash> 
-chmod o-w /data/daemons/piwigo/* -R 
-</code> 
- 
-Your piwigo user and PHP-FPM user are all owned by the same user (if you followed me properly!) so there is no need for giving write permissions to others. 
- 
-You want to increase your default PHP memory usage or Piwigo might give error with large collections. 
- 
-Edit **memory_limit** in your **php.ini** (edit the one associated to the correct PHP FPM instance!). A good value might be 520M or even higher. 
- 
-Edit **max_execution_time** in your **php.ini** to 300. 
-
