Keeping tabs on your photo library with PhotoPrism
Housekeeping
Because PhotoPrism runs in a container, there are a handful of commands you might find useful for managing the application. You already know
docker-compose up -d
starts PhotoPrism. To stop the application, use
docker-compose stop
If you need to reset PhotoPrism and start from scratch, use:
docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism reset
Finally, upgrading PhotoPrism is a matter of running the following commands:
docker-compose pull photoprism docker-compose stop photoprism docker-compose up -d photoprism
Wrap-Up
Relegating classification and face recognition tasks to the mighty TensorFlow engine is what sets PhotoPrism apart from pretty much everything else. Does it produce perfect results? Definitely not. But the sheer convenience of being able to plug your entire library into PhotoPrism and let the application do the rest outweighs occasional misses. It would be a mistake to judge PhotoPrism by its machine learning smarts only, though. The application's polished and user-friendly interface coupled with excellent search capabilities makes it a perfect tool for managing large libraries and sharing your photos with the rest of the world.
