Mischkomposition Photography Portfolio

This is the code repository for the photography portfolio of Tom Misch ("Mischkomposition"). The project features a fast static frontend (based on HTML5 UP Multiverse) powered by a robust Node.js + SQLite backend and Nextcloud integration.

Features

• Nextcloud Integration: Photos placed into the Nextcloud directory are automatically detected.
• Client Separation: Guests see the public portfolio, while logged-in clients see their designated, private sub-folders.
• Auto-Thumbnails: Automatic resizing and EXIF extraction (shutter speed, ISO, aperture) for fast loading times.
• Admin Dashboard: Manage users, roles, private folders, access rights, account security, and deployment status.
• Light/Dark Mode: Dynamic theme toggle saving preferences in the browser.

Deployment Setup (Docker)

This repository is automatically built into a Docker container via Gitea Actions and pushed to the local Gitea container registry.

To deploy on a NAS or Linux server, adjust the docker-compose.yml to match your Nextcloud mount:

services:
  photography:
    image: git.mischlabs.de/mrdiderot/photography:latest
    container_name: photography-website
    ports:
      - "8090:8090"
    environment:
      - JWT_SECRET=replace-with-a-long-random-secret
      - FULLS_DIR=/app/public/images/fulls
      - THUMBS_DIR=/app/public/images/thumbs
    volumes:
      - /path/to/nextcloud/data:/app/public/images/fulls:ro
      - thumbs:/app/public/images/thumbs
      - database:/app/data

Run docker compose up -d to launch the site.

For a fresh installation, create the initial admin with explicit environment variables only once. Use a bcrypt hash instead of storing a plain password in docker-compose.yml:

node -e "const bcrypt = require('bcryptjs'); console.log(bcrypt.hashSync('your-admin-password', 10));"

Then start once with INITIAL_ADMIN_USERNAME=MrDiderot and INITIAL_ADMIN_PASSWORD_HASH=<hash>. Existing installations keep their SQLite users in the persistent database volume.

Container updates are handled by Watchtower, which pulls from git.mischlabs.de/mrdiderot/photography:latest.
