parallel-flickr is a tool for backing up your Flickr photos and generating a database backed website that honours the viewing permissions you've chosen on Flickr. parallel-flickr is not a replacement for Flickr.
parallel-flickr is still a work in progress. It ain't pretty or classy yet but it works. It almost certainly still contains bugs, some of them really stupid.
It still needs to be documented properly.
In the meantime, here's a blog post.
These instructions are incomplete. They'll probably work but I have tested them from scratch yet. The following assumes you're running on a brand new vanilla Ubuntu machine.
-
First, some basic OS-level setup:
$> sudo apt-get install git-core
$> git clone git@github.com:straup/parallel-flickr.git
$> cd parallel-flickr
$> sudo sh ./ubuntu/install.sh
$> sudo chown -R www-data templaces_c
TO DO: apache configs
TO DO: database setup, see also: https://github.com/straup/flamework-tools/blob/master/bin/setup-db.sh
TO DO: read in schema/*.schema
-
Now set up the application config file:
$> cp www/include/config.php.example www/include/config.php
TO DO: updating the config file, see also: https://github.com/straup/flamework-tools/blob/master/bin/make-project.sh
-
That's it.
-
write files to S3 (see also: flamework-aws)
-
make sure video files are actually being fetched properly
-
API hooks (see also: flamework-api)
-
always fetch path_alias for contacts (call flickr.people.getInfo)
-
sets, galleries, groups
-
uploads (and then re-uploading to Flickr)
-
account deletion
-
cron jobs for backups
-
consider moving all the backup jobs (fetching data for individual photos) in to a proper queuing system - this should probably be a feature flag so that the whole thing can still be run in "stupid" mode and not spiral in to astronaut territory.
-
display metadata
-
permission checks for geo (currently not displayed)
-
search, see also: parallel-flickr-solr
-
duplicate key errors fetching faves
-
better layout, tested in more than just Firefox
- password reminders are disabled, only because I don't have a mail server set up
