# How to scale PictShare
|
|
|
|
If your library is huge then you might want to think about scaling your instances. Pictshare (v2+) was rebuilt with scaling in mind but instead of built-in scaling features we rely on OS level solutions.
|
|
|
|
# The "ALT_FOLDER" setting
|
|
You can set the config var ```ALT_FOLDER``` to point to a directory on the same server where pictshare will look for content and put new uploads.
|
|
|
|
This allows you to have a shared or even a mounted ftp/nfs folder that will act as the "database" of images across multiple PictShare instances.
|
|
|
|
The main site https://pictshare.net uses this technique to scale across many servers in multiple countries.
|
|
|
|
Using this method you can have multiple servers for the same domain (with a reverse proxy)
|
|
|
|
# Fast, read only instances
|
|
PictShare needs strong hardware for video conversion but using smart Nginx configurations you can host an instance on a weak but fast server and relay all uploads to another server with stronger hardware running PictShare
|
|
|
|
**Example Nginx config for a small VPS that relay all uploads to a faster but private server**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
server {
|
|
listen 80;
|
|
server_name your.awesome.domain.name;
|
|
|
|
client_max_body_size 50M; # Set the max file upload size. This needs to be equal or larger than the size you specified in your php.ini
|
|
|
|
root /var/www/pictshare; # or where ever you put it
|
|
index index.php;
|
|
|
|
location / {
|
|
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?url=$request_uri;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
# Magic begins here. Since all uploads have to be made via some script in the /api/ folder we can just redirect
|
|
# these requests to another server that doesn't need to be public facing
|
|
location ^~ /api/ {
|
|
proxy_pass http://10.12.0.3/; #set to the hostname or ip or url of the powerful server
|
|
include /etc/nginx/proxy_params;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
location ~ \.php {
|
|
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.3-fpm.sock; #may be slightly different depending on your php version
|
|
fastcgi_index index.php;
|
|
include fastcgi_params;
|
|
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
|
|
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $fastcgi_script_name;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
location ~ /(data|tmp|bin|content-controllers|inc|interfaces|storage-controllers|templates|tools) {
|
|
deny all;
|
|
return 404;
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
```
