# 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 use a smarter system
|
|
|
|
# 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) |
