Following steps need to be performed to use HomeGallery
~/Picturescurl -sL https://dl.home-gallery.org/dist/latest/home-gallery-latest-linux-x64 -o gallery
chmod 755 gallery
./gallery init --source ~/Pictures
./gallery run server &
./gallery run import --initialand open localhost:3000 in your browser. Run ./gallery -h for
further help of the CLI.
See dl.home-gallery.org/dist for further binaries. Eg. latest binaries for Linux, Mac or Windows.
The configuration gallery.config.yml can be found in the current directory for
fine tuning.
See install section in the documentation
for further information.
mkdir -p data
alias gallery="docker run -ti --rm \
-v $(pwd)/data:/data \
-v $HOME/Pictures:/data/Pictures \
-u $(id -u):$(id -g) \
-p 3000:3000 xemle/home-gallery"
gallery init --source /data/Pictures
gallery run server &

further help of the CLI.
The gallery configuration can be found in ./data/config/gallery.config.yml for fine tuning.
Want to use docker compose? See install section in the documentation for further information.
See docs.home-gallery.org for general documentation.
The complete "database" is loaded into the browser. My 100.000 media are about 100 MB plain JSON and 12 MB compressed JSON. The performance is quite good on current mobile device. A user reported a successful setup with over 400.000 media files. Further feedback is welcome.
HomeGallery has prebuilt binaries for Linux, MacOS and Windows. Further download options can be found here.
See installation section for usage.
The goal of HomeGallery is to use as less public serivces as possible due sensitive private image data. It tries to use service which can be deployed local. However the setup requires technical knowlege and technical maintenance. Following services are called:
For geo reverse lookups (geo coordinates to addess), HomeGallery queries the Nominatim Service from OpenStreetMap. Only geo coordinates are transmitted.
For reverse image lookups (similar image search), object detection and face
recogintion, HomeGallery uses the
its own public API at api.home-gallery.org. This public API supports
low powered devices such as the SoC Raspberry PI and all preview images are
send to this public API by default. No images or privacy data are kept.
The API can be configured and ran also locally or as Docker container. See installation section for usage.
HomeGallery runs on the JavaScript runtime NodeJS which is supported by various platforms such as Linux (also Raspberry PIs), Mac and Windows.
For most cases a customized environment should be sufficient with
# Clone or download the repo from GitHub
git clone https://github.com/xemle/home-gallery.git
cd home-gallery
# Install required packages
npm install
# Build required modules
npm run buildIn some cornor cases you might also need essential build tools to compile library bindings.
HomeGallery uses npm workspaces with multi
packages. Common npm scripts are clean, build, test.
To run only a subset of packages you can use pnpm's
filter feature, e.g build only module export and database:
npx pnpm -r --filter './*/{export,database}' buildRun unit tests from specific packages (via pnpm)
npx pnpm -r --filter './*/{query,events}' testRun specific e2e tests (via Gauge)
git clone https://github.com/xemle/home-gallery-e2e-data.git data
npm run test:e2e -- --tags devhome-gallery-e2e-data contains test files using Git LFS.
The e2e test output data are stored in /tmp/gallery-e2e directory. The latest test run is symlinked into the directory latest-e2e-test within the HomeGallery working directory. Check the cli.log and e2e.log (ndjson format) in each test directory.
Create local binary bundle from a feature branch
node scripts/bundle.js --version=1.3 --snapshot=-feature-test --filter=linux-x64 --no-before --no-runCreate local native bundle which excludes binaries via npm like sharp, ffmpeg and ffprobe. It should contain only js code which should run everywhere. It requires external binaries vipsthumbnail, ffmpeg and ffprobe in the PATH environment to work properly.
node scripts/bundle.js --version=1.3 --snapshot=-feature-test --filter=linux-native --no-before --no-runTo reset the current development state and start fresh on any very strange error behavior, you might run:
rm -rf package-lock.json node_modules e2e/node_modules packages/*/node_modules
npm install && npm run clean && npm run buildPlease login to review this project.
