PhotoPrism is a self-hosted web application for managing your photos. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing PhotoPrism on your Manjaro system.
Before we begin, ensure that your Manjaro system is up-to-date with the latest software updates.
PhotoPrism requires some dependencies to be installed before we can proceed with the installation. Open a terminal and run the following commands to install the dependencies:
sudo pacman -S ffmpeg imagemagick ghostscript tesseract
Go to the PhotoPrism website and navigate to the downloads page. Select the Linux version and the appropriate architecture for your system.
Once the download is complete, extract the downloaded file to a directory of your choice.
tar -xvf PhotoPrism_*.tar.gz
Open a terminal and navigate to the extracted directory using the following command:
cd PhotoPrism*
Now, run the following command to install PhotoPrism:
sudo ./photoprism install
After the installation, start the PhotoPrism server by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start photoprism
To make sure that the server starts automatically during system startup, run the following command:
sudo systemctl enable photoprism
Open your browser and go to http://localhost:2342. This will open the PhotoPrism web interface. You can now start adding your photos and manage them efficiently.
By following these simple steps, you can install and set up PhotoPrism on your Manjaro system. Now, you can easily manage your photos and access them from anywhere using this self-hosted web application.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
