In reply to Charles. Hi Charles, you should be able to do that. Steps are: 1.mountong the NAS at a specified and fixed mount point (you can use fstab for this task-> https://peppe8o.com/automount-usb-storage-with-raspberry-pi-os-lite-fstab-and-autofs/amp/) 2. Use the media mount point in your docker-compose file as volume for your /photoprism/folder

Is it possible to have the Raspberry Pi running the PhotoPrism and all photo’s/videos are stored on a WD My Cloud EX2 Ultra NAS via through a network drive? Have over 2 TB of video and photo’s I need some help cleaning up and organizing better and just to find a simple solution to speed that process up.

Hi Gary,
have you checked the container logs?
This is the command:
docker logs [OPTIONS] CONTAINER

Thanks for the post. I’m all working although I haven’t uploaded any images yet. I’ve for a 5TB SSD that I’m going to use.
My problem is that when I reboot the photoprism service doesn’t start.

gary@photobox:~/photoprism $ sudo docker ps –format “table {{.Names}}\t{{.Ports}}\t{{.Status}}”
NAMES PORTS STATUS
photoprism_photoprism_1 0.0.0.0:2342->2342/tcp Up 6 seconds
photoprism_mariadb_1 3306/tcp Up About an hour
gary@photobox:~/photoprism $

As you can see, it started only after I manually intervened, while the mariadb server started on bootup.

Do you have any suggestions?

In reply to Sylvain. Hi Sylvain, sure you can do it. Please note that Raspberry PI OS Lite will not mount the storage automatically on reboot. You have to make this sure with the following tutorial: http://peppe8o.com/automount-usb-storage-with-raspberry-pi-os-lite-fstab-and-autofs/. In this way you will have the external HDD always remounted with the same path. Then change the default docker-compose.yml at the volumes section, uncommenting volumes and adding in the first part your media path. For example: # "/host/folder:/photoprism/folder" becomes: "/media/myUSB:/photoprism/folder"

Awesome tutorial. Thanks a lot. Very easy to follow.

Having a lot of photo, I am afraid my sd card capacity will not be enough. Would it be possible to store the uploaded photo in an external HDD plugged to the RPi?
