⁠PhotoDB

PhotoDB is a web app for film photography that can be used to track cameras, lenses, accessories, films, negatives and prints, to fully catalogue a collection of photographic equipment as well as the pictures that are made with them. Read the Concepts⁠ section for full details on the capabilities of PhotoDB.

It replaces an earlier command-line project, also called PhotoDB⁠, which has now been deprecated.

⁠Installing PhotoDB

There are several ways of installing PhotoDB, depending on your needs:

• With Pip
• From source⁠
• With Docker⁠
• With Kubernetes⁠

⁠Configuring PhotoDB

PhotoDB requires no additional config to run with default settings. However it is insecure in this configuration so at least SECRET_KEY and DJANGO_PROD must be set if you are running in production.

The following environment variables are supported:

• SECRET_KEY - a large random value to be kept secret. Generate here⁠
• DJANGO_PROD - set to true to enable production mode. Defaults to false when running from source and true when running in Docker
• DB_ENGINE - the database engine (default django.db.backends.sqlite3)
• DB_NAME - the name of the database schema, or path to the SQLite db file (default db/db.sqlite3)
• DB_USER - database username
• DB_PASS - database password
• DB_HOST - database hostname or IP address
• DB_PORT - database port
