Demo: https://i.kd2.org/

Install guide

Just download the index.php file and place it in an empty directory and open it in your web browser.

You will need php7-sqlite for the database and php7-imagick for the image resizing, but you can also use php-imlib (faster) or php7-gd (slower).

FAQ

What is the password to login and delete pictures and albums?

The default password is 'fotoo', to change it follow the next question and change 

$config->admin_password = 'fotoo';

to the password you like the most.

How can I change the configuration of the software?

Just go on the service URL and add ?create_config to the URL. This way the default config will be written in the config.php file. You'll just have to comment out the lines you want to change.

How can I change the style?

Just create a file named style.css in the same directory as the application.

How can I change the size of allowed pictures?

The best way to do this is to edit the .htaccess in the directory where you installed the software and add this:

    php_value upload_max_filesize 8M

Change 8M by the size you want to allow (see the PHP FAQ to know what notations are allowed).

Please note that you'll be also limited by the post_max_size value, which you might need to change too:

    php_value upload_max_filesize 16M
    php_value post_max_size 16M

By default, Fotoo Hosting will take as the size limit the smallest value of those configuration directives.

Hint: upload pictures from the command line

If you want to upload a picture from your computer to your Fotoo Hosting instance, you'll need curl and to use this command:

$ curl -i -F name="Image title" -F private=0 -F upload=@mypicture.jpg http://fotoo.example.com/?upload | grep '^Location' | sed 's/^Location: //'

Replace "Image title" and "mypicture.jpg" with your own image title and image file. Replace private=0 with private=1 to tell Fotoo Hosting to hide the picture from the public gallery.

Hint: enable user cache so that clients don't make a lot of requests

Write this into the .htaccess of the directory where you installed this software:

  <FilesMatch "\.(jpg|png|gif)$">
    FileETag none

    ExpiresActive on
    ExpiresDefault "access plus 90 days"
  </FilesMatch>

You'll need to have mod_expire enabled.

How can I have good looking URLs like you have on i.kd2.org?

Pretty easy, add this to your config.php:

    $config->image_page_url = substr($config->image_page_url, 0, -1);
    $config->album_page_url = substr($config->image_page_url, 0, -2) . 'a=';

And add this to the .htaccess in the directory where you have put the software:

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php?$1 [QSA,L]

You might need to change the /index.php path if you're not at the root. eg. if you put the software in http://example.com/hosting/ you will have to change /index.php to /hosting/index.php.

How can I restrict upload access by login/password?

It's easy, create the config file (see above), find the line with this:

    #$config->allow_upload = true;

And replace it with this:

    $config->allow_upload = 'check_upload_access';

    function check_upload_access()
    {
        $username = 'fotoo';
        $password = 'abcd';

        if (isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']) && isset($_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'])
            && $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER'] == $username && $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW'] == $password)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            header('WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="FotooHosting"');
            header('HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized');
            die("Unauthorized access forbidden!");
        }
    }

Don't forget to replace username and password with your own.
