### Configuration
Checkout the [configuration docs](docs/configuration.md) to learn more. A [preconfigured page](docs/configuration.md#preconfigured-page) is also available to get you started quickly.

### Installation
> [!CAUTION]
>
> The project is under active development, expect things to break every once in a while.

#### Manual
Checkout the [releases page](https://github.com/glanceapp/glance/releases) for available binaries. You can place the binary inside `/opt/glance/` and have it start with your server via a [systemd service](https://linuxhandbook.com/create-systemd-services/). To specify a different path for the config file use the `--config` option:

```bash
/opt/glance/glance --config /etc/glance.yml
```

#### Docker
> [!IMPORTANT]
>
> Make sure you have a valid `glance.yml` file in the same directory before running the container.

```bash
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
  -v ./glance.yml:/app/glance.yml \
  -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
  glanceapp/glance
```

Or if you prefer docker compose:

```yaml
services:
  glance:
    image: glanceapp/glance
    volumes:
      - ./glance.yml:/app/glance.yml
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    ports:
      - 8080:8080
    restart: unless-stopped
```
