Running PhotoPrism on OpenMediaVault¶

Should you experience problems with the installation, we recommend that you ask the OpenMediaVault community for advice, as we cannot provide support for third-party software and services. Also note that third-party integrations may not provide direct access to config files or the command line, so you might not be able to use all features and config options.

PhotoPrism can be conveniently installed using the OpenMediaVault plugin.

Getting Updates¶

To upgrade your instance, first connect to the server running OpenMediaVault via SSH or open a terminal from the web interface, then download the newest image from Docker Hub and restart the service:

sudo podman pull docker.io/photoprism/photoprism:latest
sudo systemctl restart pod-photoprism.service

Opening a Terminal¶

OpenMediaVault runs PhotoPrism as a containerized service with Podman, which means you can use the podman command to open a terminal session.

To do this, first connect to the server running OpenMediaVault via SSH or open a terminal from the web interface and then check if PhotoPrism is running (and if so, under what name):

sudo podman ps

In the output, you should see PhotoPrism running under a name like photoprism-app, which you can specify to open a terminal session as follows:

sudo podman exec -ti photoprism-app /bin/bash

You should now be able to run terminal commands, such as those for managing users. Running photoprism help will list all commands and config options available in the current version:

photoprism help

Use the --help flag to see a detailed command description, for example:

photoprism backup --help
