    What should I do to use the photoprism plugin properly？

    From the logs it seems like the user running does not have enough permissions.


    Nov 04 07:30:02 nas photoprism-db[610160]: chown: changing ownership of '/var/lib/mysql/': Operation not permitted

    I would start there. Did you install plugin directly through omw?

    (Found in common problems: Solutions to common problems)

    Problem #13: Unable to set permissions or something isn't supported with your filesystem

    Solution #13: Make sure to use a native Linux filesystem.

    Could that be the issue? What file system are you using? I'm running EXT4 and I had no issues during installation of PhotoPrism. You can check under /storage/filesystems in the OMV menu. :)

    Search the forum; there are threads related to the same problem. Podman and Docker can create a network conflict. Sometimes a simple reboot resolves it.
