Hack Club Photos
No more digging for Google Photos Links, photos.hackclub.com stores photos in original quality, forever!
How it works
- Storage: We use S3-compatible storage (AWS, R2, MinIO, etc) in prod we use Hetzner!
- Database: Postgres with Drizzle ORM
- Auth: Hack Club OAuth
Running it for Dev
You’ll need Node 24+, Bun, a Postgres DB, and an S3 bucket. Redis is required for distributed rate limits in production.
- Get the code
git clone https://github.com/hackclub/photos.git cd photos bun install - Set up env
cp .env.example .env # Fill in your creds! - Run migrations
bun run db:migrate - Run dev
bun run dev
Production deploys should run bun run db:migrate as a release step before serving the new application version. The Vercel build itself does not connect to Postgres.
