PhotoPrism - Personal Photo Management powered by Go and Google TensorFlow
-
Okay, I decided to take a crack at packaging this and was surprisingly successful.
I've detailed some of the more technical things over on the PhotoPrism Github: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/1284
For anyone who wants to expriment the docker image is
moonmeister/cloudron-photoprism:0.1.3and the configs can be found here https://github.com/moonmeister/photoprism/tree/feat/cloudron-image/docker/cloudronPLEASE NOTE: "Working" is currently defined as "You can log in". Basic features like, uploading photos are still broken.
@girish I'm currious what you need when this is all working to publish. Meaning, do you need a dedicated repo with the manifest and Dockerfiles and all associated info? Can this be anywhere or does it need to be in the cloudron gitlab? Or can this stuff live in the PhotoPrism repository in a subfolder?
I think that's everything I have for now. Anything else I should know? thanks.

@moonmeister ah impressive, so you were able to deal with tensorflow using our base image? Looking at your Dockerfiles you seem to temporarily rely on
moonmeister/photoprism-dev:test2is this something which could be put into that Dockerfile for completeness to have version pinned releases in the package? -
@nebulon Yes, If you checkout my GitHub issue on the PhotoPrism I address that issue. Basically, PhotoPrism doesn't release builds, they release a docker image. That image is built on Ubuntu 12.10. To make the build compatible with 12.04 I had to rebuild their dev image which is what that image is. Before I duplicated all that I was waiting to see if they had any feedback to optimize the process.
-
@nebulon As to tensorflow...I just modified their production
Dockerfile. I assume it works as of yet. -
@nebulon so photoprism is running on 20.10 due to bugs in some dependencies on 20.04. Is it possible to get a 20.10 base image or do I need to figure out backport those dependencies?
See https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/1284#issuecomment-841406953 for context.
UPDATE: photoprism folks informed me they tried compiling ffmpeg for 20.04 but it was a huge nightmare and they gave up. A
20.1021.04 base image sounds much easier if y'all can provide that. -
@moonmeister why not take the binary from 20.10 and use it on 20.04? Or use a statically compiled one that works anywhere?
-
@robi Cause it's dynamically compiled. I'm not sure about statically compiling it but it's something I will look into doing.
UPDATE: Static binaries are not an option.
-
i am no dev, but as a common user i am looking forward to see this happen!!
keep as posted! -

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).
-
@girish I don't really understand, but great!
-
I'm interested in using this. What is currently preventing this from being on the app store?
-
@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.

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

@eddowding Holy crap this

I also upvote it. Is there a real alternative avaible to this?
-
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?
-
@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/tagsAlso, 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.

@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.

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.

TBH, the next version of Nextcloud, due out later this month, might negate the need for PhotoPrism:

@all did anybody had a look into this regarding this comment:
https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/98#issuecomment-1265141705Issue: Multi-User Photo Gallery with private and shared photos/albums
If you take a moment to check out the source code we've pushed to our public repository - on which the Community Edition is based - you'll find that the feature is there.
