FAQ

Forgot the admin password?

With docker exec access:

docker exec pichost reset-password
docker exec pichost reset-password <username>

Local: npm run reset-password. See Quick start.

Why can’t I regenerate the API token in the UI?

API_UPLOAD_TOKEN in the environment locks the token. Change env and restart. See Environment variables.

Check the Referer whitelist (ALLOWED_REFERER_HOSTS or Settings). Referring sites must be listed; PicHost’s own hosts and dual-domain pair are allowed automatically.

Why can admin load on pages.dev / workers.dev / IP with dual-domain?

From v1.2.2: when dual-domain is on, PicHost returns 404 for Host values other than the configured site and image hostnames (localhost / 127.0.0.1 exempt in development). See Changelog.

If admin still loads:

  1. Dual-domain not active (image URL set but site URL empty) — neither path split nor third-host blocking applies
  2. Proxy rewrote Host to site hostname — e.g. Pages/Worker fetch(admin…) on the image hostname
  3. Port 6892 exposed publicly — bypasses Cloudflare and Nginx server_name

Fix: configure both URLs in Settings; add a default server block; with orange cloud, allow only CF IPs on origin; do not full-proxy through Pages/Workers. See Dual-domain separation, Cloudflare deployment, and Changelog.

Can I deploy PicHost on Cloudflare Workers / Pages?

Not with the current codebase. PicHost needs node-server, SQLite, sharp, and local data/ — use Docker/VPS. Connecting the repo in “Create Worker” will not deploy successfully.

Recommended: run PicHost on origin; use proxied DNS (and optional R2 storage). Do not full-proxy the app through Pages/Workers.

Dual-domain: admin works but thumbnails break?

  • Verify IMAGE_BASE_URL and proxy to the same instance
  • Always open admin on the site hostname, not mixed with localhost
  • See Dual-domain separation

Likely orphan index rows (no file on disk). Startup sync removes them on restart. See v1.2 migration.

Do I still need data/blog/ after migration?

After migrate --apply, files live under data/images/blog/. Remove leftover empty dirs after backup if you like; dirs with non-image files are kept by the CLI.

Object storage only — run migrate?

No. Skip the CLI; startup sync focuses on local data/images/ scanning.

Replace old image URLs in posts?

Use data/mapping.json from migrate preview. Keys are storage paths, not full legacy URLs. See Migration.

Skip login during development?

DEV_BYPASS_ACCESS=true (local only). Use /setup for normal flows.

Docs vs README?

This VitePress site is the full guide; README is a short overview. Online: https://o96u.github.io/PicHost/

What should the GitHub repo About say?

For main:

  • Description: Lightweight self-hosted image hosting — Docker, multi-user, gallery & API, local disk or S3-compatible storage.
  • Website: https://o96u.github.io/PicHost/ (docs, not a live demo)

Do not claim the app runs on Cloudflare Pages/Workers. The cloudflare branch demo is pic.roven.cc.
