PhotoPrism is a self-hosted, open-source photo management application. It allows you to store, organize, and share your photos from your own server or computer. In this tutorial, we'll walk you through the process of installing PhotoPrism on a macOS system.
The first step is to install Docker and Homebrew on your macOS system. You can do this by following the instructions at the official websites:
Once you have Docker and Homebrew installed, open the terminal and run the following commands:
brew install photoprism
This will download and install the latest version of PhotoPrism on your system.
After the installation is complete, run the following command to start PhotoPrism:
photoprism start
This will start the PhotoPrism server on your system. You can access the server by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:2342.
The first time you access the PhotoPrism server, you will see a setup wizard that will guide you through the process of setting up your library. Follow the on-screen instructions to add your photos, create albums, and configure your settings.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed PhotoPrism on your macOS system. You can now use it to manage your photos, organize them in albums, and share them with others. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to the official documentation.
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!
