Photoshare

An Elixir/Phoenix web application for uploading full-sized DSLR-sized photos and viewing/sharing the compressed versions.

Dependencies

• Elixir and Phoenix framework for the web server
• Amazon AWS account for S3 storage
• imagemagick for image compression
• PostgreSQL for database

Configuration

for dev/prod environments, you will need a (environment).secret.exs file to store your postgres connection info, e.g.:

use Mix.Config

# Configure your database
config :photoshare, Photoshare.Repo,
  adapter: Ecto.Adapters.Postgres,
  username: POSTGRES_USERNAME,
  password: POSTGRES_PASSWORD,
  database: POSTGRES_DATABASE,
  hostname: "localhost",
  pool_size: 10

How to Run:

To start your Phoenix app:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate
• Install Node.js dependencies with npm install
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phoenix.server

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

Todo

• replace front-end with ReactJS
• favorites
• batch upload with progress bar
• albums
• (multi-language) captions
• video compression and player
• move older content to Amazon Glacier
• auto-organize album (ideally, automatically by EXIF date + location, type of device)
