PhotoPrism for Raspberry Pi (64bit)
===================================
To get started, simply download our example config
https://dl.photoprism.org/docker/arm64/docker-compose.yml
to a folder of your choice, change it as needed, and run "docker-compose up":
wget https://dl.photoprism.org/docker/arm64/docker-compose.yml
sudo docker-compose up -d
Please always change PHOTOPRISM_ADMIN_PASSWORD so that PhotoPrism starts with a secure initial password.
Never use "photoprism", or other easy-to-guess passwords, on a public server.
A minimum length of 4 characters is required.
For more details, see:
- https://docs.photoprism.org/getting-started/docker-compose/
- https://docs.photoprism.org/getting-started/config-options/
All commands may have to be prefixed with "sudo" when not running as root.
Note that this will change the home directory "~" to "/root" in your configuration.

## Docker Compose Command Reference ##
The help command shows a complete list of commands and config options.
Use the --help flag to see a detailed command info like
"docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism backup --help".
| Action | Command |
|------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|
| Start | docker-compose up -d |
| Stop | docker-compose stop |
| Update | docker-compose pull |
| View Logs | docker-compose logs --tail=25 -f |
| Open Terminal | docker-compose exec photoprism bash |
| Show Help | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism help |
| Show Config | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism config |
| Reset Database | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism reset |
| Backup Database | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism backup -a -i |
| Restore Database | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism restore -a -i |
| Index Library | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism index |
| Complete Rescan | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism index --all |
| Import Files | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism import |
Note: "photoprism index --all" will re-index all originals, including already indexed and unchanged files.
This may be necessary after upgrading, especially to new major versions.
## System Requirements ##
You need to boot your Raspberry Pi 3 / 4 with the parameter "arm_64bit=1" in config.txt in order to use this image.
Alternatively, you may run the image on UbuntuDockerPi (https://github.com/guysoft/UbuntuDockerPi).
It's a 64bit Ubuntu Server with Docker pre-installed.
Indexing large photo and video collections significantly benefits from fast, local SSD storage and enough memory for caching.
## Reducing Server Load ##
If you're running out of memory - or other system resources - while indexing, please limit the
number of workers by setting PHOTOPRISM_WORKERS to a value less than the number of logical CPU cores
in docker-compose.yml.
Also make sure your server has swap configured so that indexing doesn't cause restarts when
there are memory usage spikes.
As a measure of last resort, you may additionally disable image classification using TensorFlow.
To avoid permission issues, docker-compose.yml should include the following security options:
photoprism:
security_opt:
- seccomp:unconfined
- apparmor:unconfined
