About PyArtistsGallery

There is standalone web-gallery for arts and photos. Based on Python 3, Flask and SQLite.

I have searched for small standalone web-gallery without big monsters like MySQL in dependencies (because I cannot run MySQL in my RaspberryPi without liters of liquid nitrogen). I found bunch of galleries, like sfpg (https://sye.dk/sfpg/), but they looks not so nice for me or generate thumbnails for new pictures then user tries to load main page of gallery.

That's why I wrote my own gallery, which looks like I want and do what I want.

uWSGI

Execute uWSGI server with next command (virtualenv should be activated):

uwsgi --ini /path/to/site-packages/pagapp.ini

Nginx

There is configuration for Nginx (assume, you cloned this repository to the /usr/share/nginx/www/artgallery):

server {
 listen 8080;
 server_name "server.example";
 client_max_body_size 50M;
 access_log /path/to/access.log;
 error_log /path/to/error.log;
 location /static {
 alias /path/to/site-packages/static;
 }
 location / {
 include uwsgi_params;
 uwsgi_pass unix:/tmp/uwsgi-pagapp.sock;
 }
}

After adding this configuration - do not forget to restart Nginx.
