    While your media files are imported open your HomeGallery at localhost:3000 in your browser.

    Run the CLI

    The CLI with all commands of the app bundle is started via

    To upgrade the gallery software, please stop your current server, download the latest version and start the new version.

    Please run the import command to rebuild the database. This step will add new features and fix missing database entries. If all your media is already imported the import can be done in parallel with the server command.

    # stop the current server
mv home-gallery home-gallery.old
curl -sL https://dl.home-gallery.org/dist/latest/home-gallery-latest-linux-x64.tar.gz -o home-gallery.tar.gz
tar xvf home-gallery.tar.gz
cd home-gallery
node gallery.js import
