PhotoPrism - Personal Photo Management powered by Go and Google TensorFlow

UPDATE: photoprism folks informed me they tried compiling ffmpeg for 20.04 but it was a huge nightmare and they gave up. A 20.10 21.04 base image sounds much easier if y'all can provide that.

@nebulon is this possible?

Photoprism gets face detection. Shared albums on its way.

I assume it is possible but I think it's Cloudron policy to only support Ubuntu LTS (which I think is wise - but I hope it doesn't mean we'll have to wait until April 2022 for PhotoPrism?!?)

@jdaviescoates Since we use Docker, the base OS is usually not that relevant. We can always compile the required ffmpeg for Ubuntu 20.04 (which the app containers are based on).

[jdaviescoates]

@girish I don't really understand, but great!

[eyecreate]

I'm interested in using this. What is currently preventing this from being on the app store?

[jdaviescoates]

@eyecreate no one has packaged it. It seems for some reason it's isn't easy to package, but I don't really understand what the issue is.

PhotoPrism looks beautiful. It is a pity there is no timeline view to go with the Calendar view.

Thanks for helping bring this to Cloudron.

@nebulon I wonder if there is a way to have a cloudron hosted server for the queries to go to.

[eddowding]

@jdaviescoates is there a way to crowdfund people who can package stuff?

[privsec]

@eddowding Holy crap this

[timka]

I also upvote it. Is there a real alternative avaible to this?

[neurokrish]

Any update on this? Cloudron lacks a proper personal photo-video management at the moment. Lychee does not do videos as far as I know. What are others using?

[LoudLemur]

@timka pixelfed and lychee are both available on Cloudron. It would be nice to have PhotoPrism too.

I'd really like to replace my Flickr account with PhotoPrism.

I note there are a bunch of Docker files here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/photoprism/photoprism/tags

Also, in the Development preview the Docker has upgraded base image to Debian 12 "Bookworm", which includes FFmpeg 4.4.1 and Darktable 3.8.1

I seem remember it was something about FFmpeg which was stopping this getting packaged before. I wonder if @appdev @staff could take another look (or @nebulon could reach out to the developers again?)

Thanks!

@jdaviescoates I've been using photoprism in docker-compose and it's...eh. Functional, but not very attractive of an interface. Just random commentary. Would love to see it in the store.

Piwigo allows video hosting, if I remember correctly.

@jdaviescoates PhotoPrism is also still single user afaik

True, although OpenID Connect is already in progress and someone sponsored it 2 weeks ago, so hopefully it's coming soon, see:

I decided to take some effort upon myself to see if I could package PhotoPrism. I've got a version I've uploaded to Cloudron gitlab that seems good enough to use right now. Some notes:

• The software expects either MariaDB or Sqlite. I tried hooking up to MySql, but there were syntax issues. The current config uses sqlite, but can be changed to PGSQL once they implement that into PhotoPrism.
• PhotoPrism needed a newer go than was in the base cloudron image, so I found it easiest to remove the old go version and inplace put the newer version. This can be removed once base image is updated.
• To make things easier, I did use the precompiled tensorflow from PhotoPrism instead of compiling myself. The version I included requires AVX2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Vector_Extensions#CPUs_with_AVX2)
• There might be a better way to handle the env vars than I did, but it works for now.

Hopefully this can be useful to someone wanting this software now or to help make something more official.
