Configuration
HomeGallery has serveral modules/parts which can be configured through the
gallery.config.yml
file. It is loaded on the start of the CLI and
is created if not found. It comes with a well selected preset
of settings.
In a bare minimum configuration you need to define your media directories:
1sources:
2 - ~/Pictures
By default the configuration files are stored to ~/.config/home-gallery
and the previews are stored in ~/.cache/home-gallery/storage
.
It is advisable to initialize the configuration through the run init
command:
gallery run init --source ~/Pictures /mnt/media
