Truenas Core Piwigo install

TrueNAS General
1

I’m getting error when installing Piwigo plugin on truenas core: " Error: 13.1-RELEASE was not found!"

Plug-ins are deprecated on CORE. Jails have a short shelf-life as well. Recommend you upgrade to SCALE and run jailmaker / Apps or use a VM.

3

If you do install in a jail, it should be available via pkg install piwigo-php82 then to enable and start it,

sysrc piwigo_enable=yes
service piwigo start
4

Looks like the installation finished but I’m getting this after start command:

root@Piwigo:~ # sysrc piwigo_enable=yes
piwigo_enable: yes -> yes
root@Piwigo:~ # service piwigo start
piwigo does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable
5

From further examination it looks like piwigo needs more than just the standard commands.

6

You might look at the piwigo docs to see if they have instructions about installing on FreeBSD.

From the pkg info it looks fairly simple, but I don’t use piwigo myself.

I was looking for a self-hosted photo backup solution, preferably with the iOS app.

Nextcloud work fine. It might be overkill but it works.

There is also photoprism, although I don’t use that much.

I’ve tried the Nextcloud… weird… not for me. Looks like I would have to upgrade to TrueNAS Scale, but before that, I have to upgrade my graphic card because Plex on Scale no longer supports my card.

If you have at least 16gb of RAM on your Nas:

  • create a small VM, install Alpine Linux on It
  • install docker (and if you like, Portainer)
  • mount data, or Just set and empty NFS share
  • install piwigo with docker, mounting the NFS
11

No I don’t… Looking into Photoview, there is an option install it directly on Ubuntu without docker

12

mmm but does Photoview perform backups? Watching the site seems just a gallery organizer to me.

You don’t like it, but IMHO, for smartphone photo backup nextcloud is pretty functional (you forget to have it), perfectly working on 13.3 jail, easy to install with dan script. At least for Android, don’t know on IOS

13

so, I’ve installed Piwigo on Ubuntu, testing it. Later would need some backup solution. Wondering if something is already built-in into Truenas core already

14

Unlucky not. Plugins were CORE built in solution :sweat_smile:
I have found this, i see some service that IMHO can be worth try
