Photoprism with Nextcloud Tutorial

This is a tutorial on how to set up photoprism using the nextcloud photos folder. We will use photoprism in a docker container. Nextcloud can, but doesn't need to be set up in docker.

Find your photos folder

You need to find the folder to which the photos are uploaded. In my case, thats "/etc/ncp/files/Photos/"

Install Photoprism

You will need to map the path of your photos to your photoprism container. Please replace "/etc/ncp/files/Photos/" with the path to your photos folder. "ncp" is the user name of the account:

sudo docker run -d \
  --name photoprism \
  --security-opt seccomp=unconfined \
  --security-opt apparmor=unconfined \
  -p 2342:2342 \
  -e PHOTOPRISM_UPLOAD_NSFW="true" \
  -e PHOTOPRISM_ADMIN_PASSWORD="password" \
  -v /photoprism/storage \
  -v /etc/ncp/files/Photos/:/photoprism/originals \
  photoprism/photoprism

Please change PHOTOPRISM_ADMIN_PASSWORD to something more secure!

In the photoprism web interface (localhost:2342) navigate to library and start to index. This will take a while depending on your photo library.
