  • On the first run phobox asks for the photostorage. Select the directory with all your photos.
  • If the programm runs correctly, a browser will be opend up and presents your files
  • It could take a while until all thumbnails are created
  • Phobox doesn’t change the structure or photos of your directory. It creates just a new subdirectory named “phobox” which contains all necessary files.

Import files

  • There are different ways to import files to your phobox:
    1. copy your files into the subdirectory phobox/import/
    2. open “upload” in the left menu in the webinterface and drag and drop your files into the dropzone
    3. copy your files to the specifed watch-directory

Configuration

  • To change your settings, you can open the settings page in the webinterface or use the .phobox.properties file in your home directory
  • You can change this setting in this file as well, but the phobox has to restart after this change
