The Gallery Appliance is a small rPath based GNU/Linux based distribution which has apache, mysql and php pre-installed and configured. It also has the Gallery 1 and 2 applications along with the required and optional utilities. This includes netpbm, imagemagick, gd, dcraw, ffmpeg, zip, unzip, jhead and a few others.

This appliance is intended to be a demo appliance. It offers very little in the way of security. The mysql and system root password is blank, the G1 and G2 admin password is 'password' and the web based management tool RAA's login is also admin with a password of 'password'. One *could* use this appliance, but only after securing it as much as possible.

Once booted, you can simply start exploring G1 and/or G2. The appliance's login screen will tell you the URL it can be found at. If you decide to log in, you can use the gallery-appliance init script found in /etc/init.d/ to perform some useful functions.

  1. /etc/init.d/gallery-appliance status

Gallery appears to be pre-configured, use the 'clear' option to undo this

The following options are available:

start / setup - load the pre-configured G1 and G2 stop / backup - backs up the current G1 and G2 restore - restores a previously backed up G1 and G2 clear - nukes G1 and G2 settings and albums

The intention is that at first boot, both G1 and G2 are pre-configured and the file /etc/gallery-pre-configured is created. Unless this file is removed or the gallery-appliance script is used, your G1 and G2 will not be over written. During a normal shutdown or when you issue the 'stop' or 'backup' command, your G1 and G2 will be backed up. If the 'restore' command is used, you can recover this backup. The 'clear' command will clear out your G1 and G2 configuration, db and images. You can use this command to test the installer for G1 and G2.
