Oldalbum

If you have some old image archives from the web's baby years in the 90-ies and would like to link to the images from social media and have the linked images show up nicely, then this is the application you have waited for.

    The application can be run in two ways:
  1. With a PostgreSQL database
  2. With an in-memory derby database that is provisioned from a file loaded from an URL (you need a web server that can serve the file)

The application doesn't store the images. You need to let the original image archive to keep running. The application just points into the old image archive and serve up the images with open graph and twitter card meta tags added.

The images are served up in a bootstrap styled, responsive layout, and should appear nicely on both mobile devices and larger screens.

The reason this application exists

The idea for the application comes from that I have some old albums from the 90ies that I occasionally would like to link to. Since the images lack Open Graph or twitter card tags, linking to the images from social media doesn't look to hot.

I first thought about changing the perl script that generates the albums, to add a wrapper to the main jpeg, with the OpenGraph headers.

But then the thought struck me: I could just leave the old JPEGs where they are and create a completely separate webapp that provides a navigation and metadata framework and just uses an tag to display the images from the location where they are today.

And this is the webapp, called "oldalbum", because it is more a way to display existing old albums than yet another album application

Titles, dates and sorting

For a logged in user, it is possible to add titles, descriptions and dates of images, or change the ones that were set during import.

If JPEG image is downloaded or if an album is downloaded as a zip file, the images will have the metadata set in their EXIF tags.

  2. Clone and build oldalbum
  3. #+begin_example git clone https://github.com/steinarb/oldalbum.git cd oldalbum mvn install #+end_example
  4. From the karaf console (i.e. the terminal window where you started karaf), give the following commands:
  5. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE feature:repo-add mvn:no.priv.bang.oldalbum/karaf/LATEST/xml/features feature:install oldalbum-with-derby #+END_EXAMPLE
  6. Visit http://localhost:8181/oldalbum in a web browser
  7. Open the menu from the button with three lines on top right and log in with username admin, password admin, this will give you access to edit facilities

Installation with production database

    Procedure:
  1. Download and install apache karaf
  2. Create PosgreSQL user karaf, and give "karaf" (without the quotes) as the password (or pick a different password, and change the database password in the karaf config file etc/org.ops4j.datasource-oldalbum-production.cfg, note1: this is etc/ inside karaf note2: the file is created after oldalbum installation, and you will have to restart karaf after changing the config file):
  3. #+begin_example /usr/bin/sudo -u postgres createuser karaf --pwprompt #+end_example
  4. Create a blank PostgreSQL database with user karaf as the owner
  5. #+begin_example /usr/bin/sudo -u postgres createdb -O karaf oldalbum #+end_example
  6. From the karaf console, give the following commands:
  7. #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE feature:repo-add mvn:no.priv.bang.authservice/karaf/LATEST/xml/features feature:install user-admin-with-productiondb feature:repo-add mvn:no.priv.bang.oldalbum/karaf/LATEST/xml/features feature:install oldalbum-with-postgresql-and-provided-authservice #+END_EXAMPLE

Installation with in-memory database initialized from URL

    Procedure:
  1. Set the environment variable DATABASE_CONTENT_URL pointing to the raw content of a github gist containing a liquibase changeset setting up just an empty root album :
  2. #+begin_example export DATABASE_CONTENT_URL=https://git.io/JUnF4 #+end_example
  3. Start karaf from the shell where you've set the DATABASE_CONTENT_URL environment variable
  4. Install the oldalbum application :
  5. #+begin_example feature:repo-add mvn:no.priv.bang.oldalbum/karaf/LATEST/xml/features feature:install oldalbum-with-memory-db-with-url-init #+end_example
  6. Visit http://localhost:8181/oldalbum in a web browser:
  7. Log in with username "admin" (without the quotes) and password "admin" (also without the quotes)
  8. Add the albums and images you want to display
  9. When you're happy with the album contents, download http://localhost:8181/oldalbum/api/dumproutessql and put the results in a place that can be reached with a HTTP URL from where you start your production karaf instance, e.g. as a github gist
  10. Set the environment variable DATABASE_CONTENT_URL to the raw content of your github gist in the shell where you'll start the karaf hosting your production oldalbum instance

Installation using docker image

    Procedure:
  1. Pull the latest version of the image from docker hub
  2. #+begin_example docker pull steinarb/oldalbum:latest #+end_example (/Note/! The image provisions the latest released version of oldalbum from maven central on startup, so there is no need to get a new version of the image to get a new oldalbum release. A stop and start of the image will be sufficient)
  3. Start the docker image with a minimal database that only contains the top album
  4. #+begin_example docker run -p 8101:8101 -p 8181:8181 -e "DATABASE_CONTENT_URL=https://git.io/JUnF4" -d steinarb/oldalbum:latest #+end_example
  5. Visit http://localhost:8181/oldalbum in a web browser:
  6. Log in with username "admin" (without the quotes) and password "admin" (also without the quotes)
  7. Add the albums and images you want to display:
  8. To add an album:
  9. Click on the button "Add album"
  10. At least add a unique local path for the album (the album will become a child of the album you clicked "Add album" in)
  11. Optionally add a title and a description
  12. Click on the "Add" button to add the new album
  13. To add a picture:
  14. Navigate to the album you want to add a picture to
  15. Click on the button "Add picture"
  16. At least provide the URL of the image you wish to add (the filename without extension will become the suggested local path)
  17. Optionally add a the URL of a thumbnail (if you don't have a thumbnail, just leave this field open and a scaled down version of the image itself will be used as the thumbnail)
  18. Optionally add a title and a description
  19. Click on the button "Add" to add the image to the album
  20. Pictures and albums will be displayed in the order they are added
  21. Click on the arrows to move a picture or album up or down
  22. When you're happy with the album contents, download http://localhost:8181/oldalbum/api/dumproutessql and put the results in a place that can be reached with a HTTP URL from where you start your production karaf instance, e.g. as a github gist
  23. Stop the image and restart it, this time with a DATABASE_CONTENT_URL pointing to a web server serving up the dumped file (as e.g. with this github gist):
  24. #+begin_example docker run -p 8101:8101 -p 8181:8181 -e "DATABASE_CONTENT_URL=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/steinarb/8a1de4e37f82d4d5eeb97778b0c8d459/raw/6cddf18f12/dumproutes.sql" -d steinarb/oldalbum:latest #+end_example

Set admin user username and password when using docker

If you want to change the username and/or password of the admin user, it can be done by setting the environment variables USERNAME and PASSWORD, e.g. like so:

docker run -p 8101:8101 -p 8181:8181 -e "DATABASE_CONTENT_URL=https://git.io/JUnF4" -e "USERNAME=album" -e "PASSWORD=zekret" -d steinarb/oldalbum:latest

Read-only installation using docker

If you want your album to be read-only, it's possible to disable the login and the edit functionality by setting the environmentvariable ALLOW_MODIFY, e.g. like so:

docker run -p 8101:8101 -p 8181:8181 -e "ALLOW_MODIFY=false" -e "DATABASE_CONTENT_URL=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/steinarb/8a1de4e37f82d4d5eeb97778b0c8d459/raw/6cddf18f12/dumproutes.sql" -d steinarb/oldalbum:latest
