• Photo upload with EXIF extraction
• Organize photos by tag and camera model
• Infinite scroll
• Built-in auth
• Light/dark mode
• Automatic OG image generation
• Support for Fujifilm simulations

1. Click Deploy
2. Add required storage (Vercel Postgres Vercel Blob)
3. Add environment variables

• NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_TITLE (e.g., My Photos)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_DOMAIN (e.g., photos.domain.com)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_DESCRIPTION (optional—mainly used for OG meta)

1. Generate auth secret
2. Add to environment variables:

• AUTH_SECRET

3. Add admin user to environment variables:

• ADMIN_EMAIL
• ADMIN_PASSWORD

1. Visit /admin
2. Click "Choose File"
3. Title your photo
4. Click "Create"

1. Clone code
2. Run pnpm i to install dependencies
3. Set environment variable AUTH_URL locally (not in production) to http://localhost:3000/api/url (this is a temporary limitation of next-auth v5.0)
4. Run vc dev to start dev server, and utilize Vercel-stored environment variables

1. Open project on Vercel
2. Click "Analytics" tab
3. Follow "Enable Web Analytics" instructions (@vercel/analytics is already part of your project)

• NEXT_PUBLIC_PRO_MODE = 1 enables higher quality image storage
• NEXT_PUBLIC_GEO_PRIVACY = 1 disables collection/display of location-based data
• NEXT_PUBLIC_PUBLIC_API = 1 enables public API available at /api
• NEXT_PUBLIC_HIDE_REPO_LINK = 1 removes footer link to repo
• NEXT_PUBLIC_HIDE_FILM_SIMULATIONS = 1 prevents Fujifilm simulations showing up in /grid sidebar
• NEXT_PUBLIC_GRID_ASPECT_RATIO = 1.5 sets aspect ratio for grid tiles (defaults to 1—setting to 0 removes the constraint)
• NEXT_PUBLIC_OG_TEXT_ALIGNMENT = BOTTOM keeps OG image text bottom aligned (default is top)

1. Setup bucket
   • Create S3 bucket with "ACLs enabled," and "Block all public access" turned off
   • Setup CORS under bucket permissions:

     [{
      "AllowedHeaders": ["*"],
      "AllowedMethods": [
        "GET",
        "PUT"
      ],
      "AllowedOrigins": [
        "http://localhost:*",
        "https://{VERCEL_PROJECT_NAME}*.vercel.app"
        "{PRODUCTION_DOMAIN}",
      ],
      "ExposeHeaders": []
     }]

   • Store configuration
     • Bucket name: NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_S3_BUCKET
     • Bucket region: NEXT_PUBLIC_AWS_S3_REGION
2. Setup credentials
   • Create IAM policy using JSON editor:

     {
       "Version": "2012-10-17",
       "Statement": [
         {
           "Effect": "Allow",
           "Action": [
             "s3:PutObject",
             "s3:PutObjectACL",
             "s3:GetObject",
             "s3:ListBucket",
             "s3:DeleteObject"
           ],
           "Resource": [
             "arn:aws:s3:::{BUCKET_NAME}",
             "arn:aws:s3:::{BUCKET_NAME}/*"
           ]
         }
       ]
     }

   • Create IAM user by choosing "Attach policies directly," and selecting the policy created above. Create access key under "Security credentials," choose "Application running outside AWS," and store credentials (⚠️ Ensure access keys are not prefixed with NEXT_PUBLIC):
     • AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY
     • AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

Absent configuration, the default grid aspect ratio is 1. It can be set to any number (for instance 1.5 for 3:2 images) via NEXT_PUBLIC_GRID_ASPECT_RATIO or ignored entirely by setting to 0.

Navigate to /admin/configuration and click "Clear Cache."

Navigate to /admin/configuration and click "Clear Cache." If this doesn't help, open an issue.

Fujifilm simulation data is stored in vendor-specific Makernote binaries embedded in EXIF data. Under certain circumstances an intermediary may strip out this data for a variety of reasons. For instance, there is a known issue on iOS where editing an image, e.g., cropping it, causes Makernote data loss. If your simulation data appears to be missing, try importing the original file as it was stored by the camera. Additionally, if you can confirm the simulation mode on camera, you can then edit the photo record and manually select it.

For a number of reasons, only EXIF orientations: 1, 3, 6, and 8 are supported. Orientations 2, 4, 5, and 7—which make use of mirroring—are not supported.
