Phobrary

My own Photo Library

Why?

The intention of this is to have a photo library machine that goes through multiple messy folders of images and organizes them and write the organization back to the folder structure and the images exif-data.

Features

• Image deduplication (currently only identifies via hash)
• Thumbnail generation

Intended features

• Write modified exif-data back to files
• Re-organization of images into folder structures based on user sorting

... and more, you can follow the status on the project pane

Usage

This is mainly a rails app with a rake task. If you need help to get started, see the heading Get started below.

Indexing your library:

bundle exec phobrary:scan

Start your server

bundle exec rails server

Then point your browser to http://localhost:3000 and enjoy!.

Get started

Clone this repo to your computer using your terminal emulator like so:

  cd ; mkdir -p `gitstuff`; cd gitstuff
  git clone https://github.com/StefanWallin/phobrary.git
  cd phobrary

Install os level library dependencies

First you need to make sure you have the required libraries:

Mac

  brew install shared-mime-info
  brew install readline # Maybe?
  brew install dns-sd # Probably!?

Ruby version

Install ruby version listed in the file .ruby-version. I recommend using the rbenv tool for that. After installing rbenv and rbenv-build it can be done like this:

rbenv install `cat .ruby-version`

Install app level library dependencies

To get this app running you need to install bundler to manage your dependencies. You can do this from your terminal with this command:

  gem install bundler

Then, run this command in your terminal so bundler can install the needed dependency libraries:

  bundle install

Database setup

This software needs a postgresql database setup. You can search the internet for how to do this. If you are on a Mac, I recommend using homebrew to install postgres. Once your database is installed you need to have a postgres user setup, that can be done like so:

sudo -u postgres psql
CREATE USER phobrary WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'phobrary123';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE phobrary_development TO phobrary;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE phobrary_test TO phobrary;

Then hit ctrl+d to exit the psql prompt

Database initialization

bundle exec rails db:setup

How to run the test suite

bundle exec rspec
