The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring easy user mapping and community support. Find us for support at:

• forum.linuxserver.io
• IRC on freenode at #linuxserver.io
• Podcast covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!

linuxserver/photoshow

Photoshow is gallery software at its easiest, it doesn't even require a database.

Usage

docker create \
--name=photoshow \
-v <path to data>:/config \
-v <path to pictures>:/Pictures:ro \
-v <path to store thumbs>:/Thumbs \
-e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid> \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
-p 80:80 \
linuxserver/photoshow

Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 80 - port for the webui
• -v /config - stores config and logs for nginx base
• -v /Pictures - your local folder of photos you wish to share
• -v /Thumbs - local folder to store thumbnails of your images
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
• -e TZ - for timezone information eg Europe/London, etc

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it photoshow /bin/bash.

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Setting up the application

On first run create an admin account, any folder and its subfolders that you map to /Pictures will be presented as a webgallery. Config settings are persistent and stored as a subfolder of the /Thumbs mapping.
