gaugin

Frontend microservice for arelate/vangogh that provides UI to browse your GOG.com data.

Installation

The recommended way to install gaugin is with docker-compose:

create a docker-compose.yaml file (this minimal example omits common settings like network, restart, etc):

version: '3'
services:
  gaugin:
    container_name: gaugin
    image: ghcr.io/arelate/gaugin:latest
    environment:
      # scheme to use for vangogh connection
      - GG_SERVE_VANGOGH-SCHEME=https
      # vangogh address
      - GG_SERVE_VANGOGH-ADDRESS=vangogh.example
      # vangogh port (1853 is the default)
      - GG_SERVE_VANGOGH-PORT=1853
      # OS to use for downloads display
      - GG_SERVE_OPERATING-SYSTEM=windows
      # language codes to use for downloads display
      - GG_SERVE_LANGUAGE-CODE=en
      # exclude patches from downloads
      - GG_SERVE_EXCLUDE-PATCHES=true
      # use this username to restrict administrative actions and downloads
      - GG_SERVE_ADMIN-USERNAME=admin
      # use this password to restrict administrative actions and downloads
      - GG_SERVE_ADMIN-PASSWORD=adminpassword
      # use this username to restrict downloads
      - GG_SERVE_SHARED-USERNAME=shared
      # use this password to restrict downloads
      - GG_SERVE_SHARED-PASSWORD=sharedpassword
    volumes:
      # images
      - /docker/vangogh/images:/var/lib/vangogh/images:ro
      # items
      - /docker/vangogh/items:/var/lib/vangogh/items:ro
      # videos
      - /docker/vangogh/videos:/var/lib/vangogh/videos:ro
     # downloads
      - /docker/vangogh/downloads:/var/lib/vangogh/downloads:ro
      # sharing timezone from the host
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      # certificates
      - /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt:ro
    ports:
      # https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Gauguin
      - "1848:1848"

NOTE: gaugin needs direct access to digital files fetched by vangogh (images, videos, downloads). While gaugin doesn't need to run on the same server, it's recommended for easier configuration. Mounting remote vangogh volume is out of scope for this document.

• (move it to location of your choice, e.g. /docker/gaugin or remote server or anywhere else)
• while in the directory with that config - pull the image with docker-compose pull
• start the service with docker-compose up -d

Usage

Assuming you have vangogh setup correctly and data is available - to use gaugin open your browser and navigate to the address of the server you've deployed gaugin to, e.g. https://gaugin.example:1848. Modern browser with support for content-visibility and other performance features is highly recommended to use gaugin.
