1. Creating Photoprism Template in Portainer
Photoprism is a versatile photo viewer and uploading tool that can be deployed in docker. It has a lot of intelligent features that rival that of google photos, and is thus definitely worth installing
Main Reasons for Photoprism:
-
It has a fantastic GUI
- It "indexes" your photos, and thus loading times are near instant. The only downside is that if you have a massive library it may take a few hours for all the photos to be auto indexed.
- Has an android Sync App

Adding Custom Templates:
version: '3.5'
# Example Docker Compose config file for PhotoPrism (Linux / AMD64)
#
# Note:
# - Running PhotoPrism on a server with less than 4 GB of swap space or setting a memory/swap limit can cause unexpected
# restarts ("crashes"), for example, when the indexer temporarily needs more memory to process large files.
# - If you install PhotoPrism on a public server outside your home network, please always run it behind a secure
# HTTPS reverse proxy such as Traefik or Caddy. Your files and passwords will otherwise be transmitted
# in clear text and can be intercepted by anyone, including your provider, hackers, and governments:
# https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/proxies/traefik/
#
# Documentation : https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/
# Docker Hub URL: https://hub.docker.com/r/photoprism/photoprism/
#
# DOCKER COMPOSE COMMAND REFERENCE
# see https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/#command-line-interface
# --------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Start | docker-compose up -d
# Stop | docker-compose stop
# Update | docker-compose pull
# Logs | docker-compose logs --tail=25 -f
# Terminal | docker-compose exec photoprism bash
# Help | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism help
# Config | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism config
# Reset | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism reset
# Backup | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism backup -a -i
# Restore | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism restore -a -i
# Index | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism index
# Reindex | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism index -f
# Import | docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism import
#
# To search originals for faces without a complete rescan:
# docker-compose exec photoprism photoprism faces index
#
# All commands may have to be prefixed with "sudo" when not running as root.
# This will point the home directory shortcut ~ to /root in volume mounts.

## Don't enable automatic restarts until PhotoPrism has been properly configured and tested!
## If the service gets stuck in a restart loop, this points to a memory, filesystem, network, or database issue:

This Stack, will create a photoprism instance that is safe to be exposed to internet and includes password authentication. Ensure you go through the environment variables and change the settings as required. Make sure you read the comments clearly!!!
Once you are done, click on save template and deploy the stack. With that, you have successfully installed photoprism
