PhotoPrism - Personal Photo Management powered by Go and Google TensorFlow

@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.

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.

[marcusquinn]

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:

Issue: 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.

[j_holtslander]

+1 for Photoprism.

[randyjc]

@nebulon if multi-user won’t be supported, will this app be skipped in cloudron?

[nebulon]

Actually it seems like there is multiuser support by now. It got a bit on the backside after we packaged immich, which is roughly in the same space.

[GregY]

I'd really like to see support for Photoprism. I tried both lychee and immich and was disappointed with both. Unsupported video formats or unexplained crashes meant neither app seemed reliable.

Have been having a great experience with Immich. I don't know how long ago you tried it but it is under heavy development.

[marcusquinn]

I have an amazing local app, called Lyn, if that helps. Mac-only though, sorry to divert, just really like it for speed and all the things I wish an online app could do.

[lukas]

Will Photoprism be available on cloudron?

[jdaviescoates]

@lukas hopefully one day!

Looks like OpenID connect is in the pipeline too!

See

I guess once that's done this would be well worth revisiting again!

I want to replace my Flickr account with something and none of the existing photo apps on Cloudron really do the job, as whilst you can share folders, you can't create a fully open instance like you can with PhotoPrism (see e.g. the public PhotoPrism demo, and this Immich ticket where they say making fully public instances is not planned)

[archos]

I would also like to see PhotoPrism on Cloudron. Immich still has a problem with uploading files in heic format. It's almost unusable for iOs users. If you wrap up the app, it'll be really great news.
