<p class="header">yenu is a simple tool to <strong>share images among a trusted group of people</strong>. No
complicated setup, no fancy features nobody really uses, no role management,
no cloud, no bullshit. Just sharing images to people you like and store
your data where you want it to be.</p>
<h2>Another social platform?</h2>
<p>Yes and no. This is not Facebook, Instagram or a WhatsApp-Group. This is a
software package you have to host yourself. <strong>You are in charge of
your data</strong>. This sounds scary, but it is the right way to build and
maintain a <a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/magazine/archive/2014/03">decentralized internet</a>.
No worry about the setup, it is easier than you think.</p>
<h2>Where can I run this thing?</h2>
<p>Quick answer: Wherever you want. You can boot up an Amazon EC2 instance and deploy
it there or you can put it on your RaspberryPi and host it yourself from your
own internet connection from home (preferred way!). You can also rent a
vServer and deploy it there. All you need is a Java RE and a internet
connection.</p>
<h2>Installation and configuration</h2>
<p>First, <a href="">download the latest version</a> and extract the
archive. Compare the SHA256 hashsum to make sure, you have the original
files.</p>
<pre class="code">$ sha256sum yenu.tar.gz
9c57ce3cd53493048923ad138367aa3bc24ebb28c73d9ce77002f14a08f314f9</pre>
<p>Next, you can simply run the jar-file with the following command.</p>
<pre class="code">$ java -jar yenu.yar</pre>
<p>If you like docker, you can use docker-compose to boot up the application
and send it to the background</p>
<pre class="code">$ docker-compose up -d</pre>
<h2>Where is my data?</h2>
<p>All your images are placed in the <em>data/gallery/</em> directory, next to the
yenu.jar. When uploading a image, the raw file is placed into the raw/ folder,
if you need the original later (pull out some metadata like GPS coordinates,
scale it into other formats, print it etc.). The scaled down images for the
details page are stored in the <em>normal/</em> folder. The <em>thumbnails/</em> folder contains
the square images for the thumbnail preview.
The database used is a SQLite3 database, stored in the yenu.db file. You
can open the database at any time with your favourite SQLite3 client.</p>
