Great @Tho thanks for that post !

@All please be aware that @tituspijean has recently found a bug here : initrd.img error, bad gateway but service running · Issue #22 · YunoHost-Apps/photoprism_ynh · GitHub, for which we haven’t been yet able to find the root cause.

If you are lucky, photoprism will just run, and in that case should work very well.
If you are not, you may bump into a 502 nginx error message… until we find a fix !

I’ll report here once the fix will be made.

3

A fix is on the way !

4

Just a small question : is the world map included here ?
I thought it was a premium function.

Is it also possible to use it as read only of NextCloud folders ?
(In my case, the photos are not in the shared multimedia folder but 100% handled by NextCloud)

5

Cool! I’ve been running this over a year with Docker. It’s a great app.

6

There will still be some work to be done for guys like you, to help for the migration from Docker to the “native” app. I’ll have a look of what photoprism provides for instance migration.

7

I don’t think so, but I would have to recheck

Yes, but you would have to amend manually the .env file

8

@Mamie after double checking, world map is included by default !

Hello from Bangkok :slight_smile:

9

No worries. I’m happy with my docker install for now. The key feature I’m waiting for is multi-user support.

Currently, I run two instances of photprism + mariadb, one for me and one for my other family member.

It is not ideal.

10

Yes I understand… The OIDC feature request has been waiting since 3 years…
Once done I’ll use the dex app to bind yunohost users to photoprism !

11

Or you symlink your directory with /home/yunohost.app/photoprism/photos/originals (or something like that). That’s what I have done and it works great!

12

Good to know ! I didn’t think something like this would work

13

I thought photoprism had an explicit function to import its photos from nextcloud. I’d like it to sync though. Which didn’t work when I ran it in Docker, apparently because the nginx server which runs (yunohost) nextcloud doesn’t allow for that due to some webdav config shortcomings (which apache would not have). I’m not knowledgeable on this at all so I stopped trying after that.

Sync with nextcloud would be awesome though. My phone uploads automatically to nextcloud, but many photos can be deleted later. Managing photos in nextcloud itself is basically impossible for me (too slow, pretty much crashing on larger folders due to thumbnails generation, the plugin preview generator didn’t work for me either and I can’t find an easy documentation on it).

14

I sync my photos from phone to nextcloud. Then I run an rsync script to move it to my RAID-1 drive where I have photoprism running. I then run index again and photoprism picks up the photos.

A bit old now but my tutorial on it is here. Ask any other questions you have. I’ve been runnig it for at least 2 years now.

NOTE: I do not use the Photoprism yunohost app. I am just running it with Docker.

15

Thanks for the tutorial.

On my side I already have the pictures on my phone, in NextCloud (on a RAID on 2 disks), on a local backup and soon on a distant backup.

I really do not want them in double (even if borg deduplication could lead to a not bigger backups).

16

I think Photoprism can be configured to look at some specific folder and then import the new pics coming in. (I will have to dig in the config panel documentation to implement this in the app…)
You still would have some “doubles” though (mainly pre-computed various previews sizes).
There is no magic, this is the cost for a faster interface…

Hi @Limezy , I have an issue to run Photoprism with a 32bits raspberry3 (install well done :white_check_mark: )

admin@polochon:~ $ sudo yunohost service log photoprism
/var/log/photoprism/photoprism.log: 
  - /var/www/photoprism/live/bin/photoprism: /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.33' not found (required by /var/www/photoprism/live/bin/photoprism)

journalctl:

My system is up do date, but I only have the 2.31 version:

admin@polochon:~ $ ldd --version
ldd (Debian GLIBC 2.31-13+rpt2+rpi1+deb11u5) 2.31

Is there anything I can do? I’m not sure I can force an upgrade of this without collateral dammage. Is there a plan to compile photoprism with older glibc version?

Thanks :slight_smile:
Polochon

edit: the issue was due to 32 bits OS, which is not supported apparently. No issue with 64 bits.

Hi here,
I’m not sure if it is really a bug, or maybe it should be mentioned in the documentation, but the webdav adress showed in the settings is not necessary the right one.
For my case, it was: https://admin@my-domain-name/originals.
But of course, in a case of a yunohost setup, you should add the prefix you setup for the app. So in my case it was https://admin@my-domain-name/photoprism/originals because this is the suffix setup at installation

19

Are you on latest master of the Photoprism package (version from 1st of September 2022)?
I don’t have your glibc issue with this version.

If I try to update, then the same problem arise because the new Photoprism builds are based on Jammy (Ubuntu 22.10) which has a higher glibc version.
The upstream maintainer is open for a pull request that re-add the Debian Bullseye builds, if someone wants to give a try: Update the Debian Bullseye docker image · Discussion #3123 · photoprism/photoprism · GitHub

Hi Tho, the issue was (probably) due to a 32bits OS. After raspbian 64bits reinstallation, everything is fine!
