Librephotos install

DrX · 4. August 2022

Did any one tried to inslall Librephotos? https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos

they provide a "step by step" install guide ... that I could not understand .. for noob it a lot more complicated to male sens of it than regular docker compose instruction

Zitat

clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos-docker.git
Navigate to the librephotos-docker folder: cd librephotos-docker
Copy the template variable file (containing options such as the location of your photos): cp librephotos.env .env
Open .env in your favorite text editor and make the required changes. E.g., using nano: nano .env
Do not forget to create the directories you specified in the .env file if they do not exist.
Start LibrePhotos with docker-compose up -d
You should have LibrePhotos accessible after a few minutes of boot-up on localhost:3000 unless you changed this in the .env file. The username is admin & the password is admin unless you changed them in the .env file. It is recommended you change the admin username and password if LibrePhotos is going to be publicly accessible. This is done via the .env file.

have to figure out how to pass on drive location folder access,
in there step by step buy they say I should do something like changing teh bracket for the location

Code

sudo docker run -v <photos>:/var/lib/librephotos/photos/ -v <thumbnails>:/var/lib/librephotos/data/protected_media -v <logs>:/var/log/librephotos/ 

I'm looking of a way to do that in portainer.. not in cli

This is from the docker-compose

Code

backend:
    image: reallibrephotos/librephotos:${tag}
    container_name: backend
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ${scanDirectory}:/data
      - ${data}/protected_media:/protected_media
      - ${data}/logs:/logs
      - ${data}/cache:/root/.cache

So you can set the path on the server for "protected_media" with the environmental variable "data" in the .env file.

Or just exchange

Code

- ${data}/protected_media:/protected_medi

by something like

Code

- /srv/dev-disk-by-uuid-xxxx-yyyy-wwwww/potected-media:/protected_media

Not sure if you used the docker-compose file, but if you didn't you can just past it in the stack in portainer.

I edited the env file

Note that the protected media folder you mention is not your media location it's where the soft create thumbnails.

the media folder is the "/data" one .. a bit confusing imo as usualy data refer to the place you store bits and bolts like thumbnails..

Any how, I got it working partially .. I can't create album, I bet It might be a "right" issue.. not sure which

just wanna thank you for the guide or else I cant understand it at all

However the data used for container took 3GB! be careful if you use metered connection

edit* need some input. I change the scan dir on my portainer to something like this /srv/mergerfs/all/misc/testlibre and nothing happens when I click scan. the librephoto docs have very limited info though

Jetzt mitmachen!
