# Photoprism

What we are really running on this machine is Photoprism using this [docker-compose](../containers/docker/photoprism/docker-compose.yml) file, like this:

```sh
cd ~/projects/stuff/containers/docker/photoprism
docker compose up --detach
```

To stop it:

```sh
docker compose down
```

To update it:

```sh
docker compose pull
```

Photoprism is running on: https://photos.allisonandmoni.online/

I have set up a Systemd service and timer to automatically run the import once an hour. They can be found:

* [photoprism_import.service](./scripts/photoprism_import.service)
* [photoprism_import_timer.service](./scripts/photoprism_import_timer.service)

To install:

```sh
cp -v photoprism_import.service /etc/systemd/system/
cp -v photoprism_import.timer /etc/systemd/system/
```

Enable:

```sh
systemctl enable photoprism_import.service
systemctl enable photoprism_import.timer
```

In the `compose.yaml` file you'll notice I have the files stored in `/home/photoprism`. That's because I thought I could run it with podman as a dedicated user. I abandoned that idea and am now running it in Docker instead. The directories `/home/photoprism/Pictures` and `/home/photoprism/Import` are all owned by `root`
