Two-second text rendering tutorial: (continued…)
I cranked this out in OpenOffice “in like 2 minutes”, to quote Napolean Dynamite…
I’m loving using Gallery for serving up my photos, I can keep them on my own machine and avoid feeling like a Flickr whore. Of course that means I have to provide the bandwidth! But these are personal, and I love to own my own data, so it feels right.
For a full install on Gentoo, just emerge:
emerge gallery
Under Fedora, you have to grab each module separately – here are the ones I chose to grab:
yum install gallery2 gallery2-albumselect gallery2-classic gallery2-ffmpeg gallery2-floatrix gallery2-gd gallery2-hybrid gallery2-icons gallery2-imageblock gallery2-imagemagick gallery2-linkitem gallery2-matrix gallery2-newitems gallery2-randomhighlight gallery2-rating gallery2-remote gallery2-reupload gallery2-rewrite gallery2-rss gallery2-search gallery2-siriux gallery2-sitemap gallery2-sizelimit gallery2-slider gallery2-slideshow gallery2-slideshowapplet gallery2-squarethumb gallery2-thumbnail gallery2-thumbpage gallery2-tile gallery2-useralbum
Then you create a database for gallery, set up apache, and browse to the base directory to go through the install. The only strange thing is that under Fedora the default is for the data to go under /srv/gallery2/g2data, since /usr/share is read-only by default. So that’s where I put it. Have fun!
