In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PhotoPrism on Debian Latest. PhotoPrism is a self-hosted application for managing your photo collection. It offers advanced functionalities such as AI-powered object recognition, geolocation support, and a user-friendly interface to organize and search your photos.
We will break down the installation process into the following steps:
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that you have the following:
The first step in any installation process is to ensure that the system is up to date. You can do this by running the following commands:
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
PhotoPrism is built on top of Docker, so you need to have Docker and Docker-Compose installed on your system. You can install Docker and Docker-Compose by running the following commands:
# Install Docker
sudo apt install docker.io
# Install Docker-Compose
sudo apt install docker-compose
Once you have installed Docker and Docker-Compose, you need to start the Docker service, which you can do by running:
sudo systemctl start docker
Now that you have Docker and Docker-Compose installed, you need to clone the PhotoPrism repository from GitHub. To do this, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism.git
This will clone the PhotoPrism repository to your current directory.
PhotoPrism requires some configuration before it can be run. The configuration file is located in the photoprism directory. You can edit this file to set up your PhotoPrism instance. You can use the default configuration or modify the settings according to your needs.
You can edit photoprism.yml by running:
nano photoprism/photoprism.yml
After you have configured PhotoPrism, you can run it by running the following command from the photoprism directory:
sudo docker-compose up -d
This will start PhotoPrism in the background. You can access PhotoPrism by visiting http://localhost:2342 in your web browser.
To stop PhotoPrism, you can run the following command:
sudo docker-compose down
