Stable release promoting the entire `beta` channel to `main`. Brings ~300 commits of features, fixes, and infrastructure improvements that have been baked on the beta channel since v2.6.5. ## Major themes since v2.6.5 * Multi-administrator support with RBAC (super admin / admin / editor) * Async upload pipeline (background worker pool for sharp/ffmpeg/EXIF/ watermark/webhooks; bytes-on-wire returns 202) * Self-hosted webfonts (filesystem-driven scanner; replaces Google Fonts CDN; GDPR-compliant) * 8-token CI palette + force color mode (full theming across admin and public site, with WCAG-safe contrast helpers) * Native multi-arch Docker images (Apple Silicon + ARM64 Linux native) * Native S3 storage backend (S3 + S3-compatible providers) * Comprehensive video support (MP4/WebM/MOV upload, stream, play) * Outbound webhooks for event/photo lifecycle (HMAC-signed) * Gallery layout overhaul (decoupled header style, banner option, theme-aware skeletons, lazy-loaded folder tree picker) * Multilingual email templates (EN/DE/NL/PT/RU translations table) * Bulk operations (delete with password gate, archive) * Photo dimensions backfill (true masonry layout) * Customer client access (review area before guest share) * Image security (devtools detection, watermarking, right-click, secure thumbnails) ## Notable bug fixes from beta * `/auth/session` symmetry — three rounds of fixes (#350, #355, #363, #398) for the admin-login redirect-loop family * Email template renderer: handle {{#if}} conditionals, fix CSS leak in plain-text fallback, gate publish-from-draft password placeholder, gate external_url in public response * Caller/template variable drift across gallery_created, expiration_warning, archive_complete, gallery_expired * Full-URL gallery_link in all email types (was path-only in 3 sites) * ffmpeg/ffprobe via apk for Alpine compatibility (was glibc-bundled) * Admin events search and counters not bounded to first 100 (#346) ## Conflict resolution notes * `README.md` — kept main's leaner v2.6.5 rewrite (#281); added a Contributors section adapted from PR #393. * `DEPLOYMENT_GUIDE.md` — beta version (more recent, includes External Media docs already backported to main). * `CHANGELOG.md` — new 3.42.1 entry leads, beta's 3.x history follows, main's 2.x entries appended below a divider so the historical chain is preserved. * `package.json` (backend + frontend) — beta's structure with version bumped from `3.42.1-beta.0` → `3.42.1`. * `package-lock.json` (backend + frontend) — regenerated via `npm install --package-lock-only`. * `.release-please-manifest.json` — bumped from `2.6.5` → `3.42.1` so the next release-please run on main starts from the correct base. ## Pre-flight checks * Frontend `tsc --noEmit` — clean * Frontend `vite build` — clean (~3.5s, 2.6 MB main chunk; existing warning about chunking, not new) * Backend `npm test` — pre-existing failures in 6 integration suites (DB-fixture-dependent, not regressions) * Frontend `vitest` — pre-existing failures in ThemeCustomizerEnhanced.test.tsx (missing QueryClientProvider after PR #390 added useQuery; not a regression of this merge) The pre-existing test failures are tracked as separate follow-ups and do not block this release promotion.

PicPeak lets you create password-protected, time-limited photo galleries for your clients — hosted on your own server. No subscriptions, no storage limits, no third-party access to your photos.
|

|
|
|

|
## Features
|
|
|
|
**Gallery Management** — Create galleries, upload photos via drag & drop, set passwords and expiration dates. Galleries auto-archive when they expire. Events start as drafts so you can upload and prepare before notifying the client.
|
|
|
|
**Client Experience** — Responsive galleries that look great on any device. Guests can browse, download individual photos or everything at once. Optional guest uploads and feedback (likes, comments, ratings).
|
|
|
|
**Themes & Branding** — 11 built-in theme presets, custom CSS templates, configurable colors/fonts/layouts. White-label your admin panel and login page with your own logo and company name.
|
|
|
|
**Email Notifications** — Automated gallery creation, expiration warning, and archive emails. Multilingual templates (EN, DE, NL, PT, RU) editable from the admin UI.
|
|
|
|
**Photo Protection** — Watermarking, right-click prevention, canvas rendering, DevTools detection. Configurable per gallery.
|
|
|
|
**External Media** — Reference photos from a mounted folder instead of uploading. PicPeak reads originals in place and generates thumbnails on demand.
|
|
|
|
**Multi-Language** — Full UI translations for English, German, Dutch, Portuguese, and Russian. Email templates support all languages independently.
|
|
|
|
**Analytics** — Built-in view/download tracking plus optional Umami integration for privacy-focused analytics.
|
|
|
|
**Video Support** — Upload and stream MP4, WebM, MOV alongside photos. FFmpeg bundled via npm.
|
|
|
|
**Multiple Admins** — Role-based access control with super admin, admin, and editor roles.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/the-luap/picpeak.git
|
|
cd picpeak
|
|
cp .env.example .env
|
|
# Edit .env — set at least JWT_SECRET and passwords
|
|
docker compose up -d
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Open `http://localhost:3000` and log in with the credentials from your `.env`.
|
|
|
|
> **Permissions:** Set `PUID` and `PGID` in `.env` to match your host user (`id -u` / `id -g`) so Docker volumes are writable.
|
|
|
|
