I'm slowly working through getting PhotoPrism set up with the help of my brother in law. Has anyone successfully set up a reverse proxy for this app, and if so, how did you do it? I see that there is some info here about setting up via NGINX, but didn't know if that was the only way. PhotoPrism - NGINX
 
I don’t think you need the linked Nginx RP instructions. DSM has a proxy service as you know.
Does it have a web interface that you can access locally and configure on an RP?

On the other hand, this PhotoPrisim looks interesting.
I’ve also heard about Pixelfed and I was thinking about it.
Please keep us updated on how it goes and your impressions.
 
everything what you need for proper container setup is here:

then you need just adjust RP:

Synology allows you to configure a nginx reverse proxy to serve your applications over HTTPS. Configurations can be made in Diskstation manager Control Panel, Application Portal, Reverse proxy.: Click create. [Description] give it a meaningful name (for eg. Photoprism) [Protocol]=HTTPS [Hostname]=[YOUR-HOSTNAME] [Port]=[YOUR-PORT] (for eg. 2343) check Enable HSTS and HTTP/2 . under Destination [Protocol]=HTTP [Hostname]=[YOUR-LOCAL-IP][PORT]=[YOUR-PORT] (default is 2342) Last step under Custom Header.: Click create [Websocket] and hit OK (this step makes that your browser receive photo counts, log messages, or metadata updates).

I set up the RP easily enough. The share link is a little wonky, but if I replace the "localhose:2342" with my RP domain for photoprism, it does direct to the shared album. I believe there is a custom setting within the compose files that changes the sharelink url to use a custom domain, I'll have to look into that.

I've only had it up for a couple days. The basic functionality is better than Moments, and the thumbnail quality is far superior to what Moments would generate for the grid view. It also seems to load the grid much faster. It is much better at displaying exif info than Moments. Moments does seem better at auto-classifying things by subject (beach, snow, tree, facial recognition etc).

PhotoPrism is missing several key features that are still in development. They purposely did not include an option to delete photos via the app because they were afraid people would blame the app for any photos that got lost. This option is coming. Other features that are in development that I want to see soon are multiple user accounts and face recognition. Other than that, it seems like a very slick program. I'll definitely be using it over Moments, although I want to investigate piwigo and possibly Pixelfed.

Hi! I would like to run that Photoprism on my machine aswell as it would perfectly fit my needs with my photo archive. Portainer is no problem, already running it for a couple of months or years already. But I have troubles to get the Photoprism to run as expected. (Container created and running, but I cannot open the page - it always open at 0.0.0.0:2342 addresswith connection error). I am trying to do it step by step as described but I probably do something bad with the host addresses, IP, ports etc. Would someone be so kind and post here the correct stack for it? Thanks a lot.

I'm afraid I won't be much help. My brother-in-law set up most of my .yml file for me and he spent a while tweaking it to work right.

Would you mind to provide your .yml file for me (after you delete your sensitive credentials like passwords etc)? I may try to use it in my environment as well, just will correct those few values lije host IP, passwords, usernames or so. Thanks.
 
better approach is a screenshot from your console in Portainer because there are possible reasons:
- you miss some point in proposed guide
- DB is not properly configured (db, root, user, psw,...)
- ...
because @NAS Newbie may have used also welding machine to tune the original PhotoPrism docker compose found. What is sometime right approach also for me and my friend MacGyver, when the compose is just generally described and you need more improvise. :)
Proposed Synology/Portainer compose and guide is well described, then try to check all the variables.
 
I'm not versed enough in coding to know whether or not my brother-in-law used @jeyare 's welder or not, but below is my file that's been redacted. My BIL is a smart dude and works with this stuff for a living, but he spent hours trying to get this to work. We are also struggling to get Paperless-ng up. For whatever reason we are having problems getting the database containers to communicate with the main app container.

I will also warn you that when I restarted this container as currently composed, I lost all my indexing. My photos still existed, but I had to re-index them all. We have not finished setting it up yet, but it was far enough for me to test it on a small sample set of photos to see if I wanted to go further with it or not. Long story short, use at your own risk.
