Photoprism originals folder sharing on Bluefin

[chri5]

After a lot of messing around I finally found how to set the /photoprism/originals path to my photo storage. Thought I would share in case others have the same trouble.

In App Configuration > Image Environment

The default PHOTOPRISM_ORIGINALS_PATH is set to

Code:

/photoprism/originals

see attachment.

I found editing this path in any meaningful way broke my deployment.

You have to set the Additional App Storage to your photo folder.

I set mine to an NFS Share see attachment.

Then set the Mount Path to

Code:

/photoprism/originals

This maps your photo storage to the photoprism/originals folder.

Excellent that is exactly what I have been trying to do this weekend! Thank you very much @chri5 !
I am still struggling with permissions though, how did you setup your nfs share?

 

[chri5]

how did you setup your nfs share?

Check out page 3 of the plex thread... NFS share setup (scroll down to the bottom)
When installing photoprism change the user from 568(apps) to the user who has full permissions to the share you have set up.

Has this been somehow changed? I don't see these options, for me it looks as attached right from the start.

I actually have my stuff in a samba shared folder and want to use it as originals for photoprism. But it won't let me configure it this way saying that samba is using it hence it can't be saved. It only works if I create a separate share free dataset and put my photos there, then photoprism works but I can't access it via share to add anything. I don't understand truenas at all :-D

Does anyone else have this issue?

Check which verison of photoprism you are using. I'm using the Truecharts version, if you can't see the Truecharts version you need to add the Truecharts catalogue. There has been some issues with smb on the latest TrueNAS Scale so many swapped to using NFS shares instead. See my post above yours for how to set up NFS.
