Hi, I'm thinking of using PhotoPrism to complement my NextCloud setup with more advanced photo management. The documented WebDAV interface seems to be exact what I need to do this. But I cannot find any instructions how to install PhotoPrism itself. All I can find is the instruction to run it with Docker which is not an option for me. Question: Is there an instruction to install PhotoPrism without using Docker? kind regards, |

We don't maintain RPM/DEB/MacOS packages yet due to a lack of resources. As a developer, you can build PhotoPrism without Docker if you manually run the instructions in our Dockerfile(s):
Note that running server applications is generally safer within a container, especially if they are able to process a long list of file formats (same reason virus scanners are a prime attack vector). Docker is just one solution for this. You could also use Solaris Zones, BSD Jails, and VMs. That is because most parsers are written in C, and they historically contain a ton of bugs (like buffer overflows) that won't go away for the next 10 years. So it's better not to give them full access to your system if possible. In addition, our Docker images are updated frequently and may come with security fixes that are not part of the standard Ubuntu distribution, for example https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2021-22204. |
