Instances

There is currently no official Bibliogram instance.

Perflyst has hosted an instance on https://bibliogram.snopyta.org (example page), but this is not managed by me and I cannot verify its code.

If you only use one computer, you can install Bibliogram on that computer and then access the instance through localhost.

Installing

Bibliogram depends on GraphicsMagick for resizing thumbnails.

Ubuntu: # apt install graphicsmagick

  1. $ git clone https://github.com/cloudrac3r/bibliogram If you are using a fork, be sure to actually install that fork instead!
  2. $ npm install
  3. Edit /config.js to suit your server environment
  4. $ npm start

Bibliogram is now running on 0.0.0.0:10407.
