PhotoPrism - Personal Photo Management powered by Go and Google TensorFlow

[girish]

@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.

@doodlemania2

Piwigo allows video hosting, if I remember correctly.

@girish said in Replace Google to backup Android and iOS photos:

@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.

This looks rapid and slick!

Why's it not in the Cloudron App Store?

[nebulon]

Mostly we are waiting for usermanagement to be added, currently this is a single user app.

That'd be fine for my 'get rid of my Flickr account' use case.
