Photofield is a cool web-based and lightling fast photo viewer for your home server.

Create user:

group add photos
useradd -d /data/daemons/photofield -g photos -m photofield
su - photofield
wget https://github.com/SmilyOrg/photofield/releases/download/v0.15.0/photofield_.0.15.0_Linux_x86_64.zip
unzip photofield_.0.15.0_Linux_x86_64.zip

Photofield by default listen on port 8080, which i don't like because it's too common. Change it to 3003 by setting the following environment variable:

PHOTOFIELD_ADDRESS=:3003

creating a /data/daemons/photofield/configuration.yaml file:

configuration.yaml

see here for all the settings.

Current status: WAITING DEV TO ADD SUBPATH (see [[https://github.com/SmilyOrg/photofield/issues/103|here])
