INSTALL GUIDE: PhotoPrism in a Jail on TrueNAS Core 13.0

[nikinp]

You shouldn’t include the photoprism part in the path. Try /mnt/Nikin_ZFS

I’m assuming you have created a dataset at /mnt/Nikin_ZFS/photoprism?

As per the instructions, it said you didn't need to create the datasets. Instead, that the script will create the directories. I just want to get it up and running first before structuring it fully.

I will change the path part and try again and report back here.

I can change the path part and try again. But I suspect that won't stop it identifying a previous install?

Makes sense. Try with what I suggested as the pool path. Let me know if it works or not.

 

[victort]

I changed some things around on the script. Do a git pull first.

It did work. I can get access to it within the network at http:<<ip>>/2342
But having Caddy errors. Wonder if you can help work out what's wrong?

 

[victort]

Yes. So sorry. Another script bug. Try a git pull and run it again.

I re-installed and no error messages on Caddy side. See below.
URL does not get to the webpage. The http:<ip>>:2342 does get there.
What could be the reason for URL not getting to the login page?

Is caddy running?
service caddy status

Is caddy running?
service caddy status

root@truenas[/]# service caddy status
caddy does not exist in /etc/rc.d or the local startup
directories (/etc/ix.rc.d /usr/local/etc/rc.d), or is not executable
root@truenas[/]#

 

[victort]

From inside the jail please.

if not specified, the login is admin:admin123

if not specified, the login is admin:admin123

The script generates a strong password, saves it in the root directory, and displays it on script completion.

 

[victort]

I just did a fresh install, destroyed my jail, and reinstalled without error.

I also did some script cleanup to simplify password generation on a reinstall.

 

[ccdff]

I think we need more info. I moved to scale, so I cannot test your script. It looks good though.

Thank for the guide. Photoprism is working well. The only issue I have is video. I imported a 4K video from my Samsung S20 and it shows the thumbnail but when I try to play it, I just get a few sceconds of stylized static. Does transcoding on demand not work? My server has an Intel QuickSync CPU.

 

[ccdff]

Start the index and monitor the logs. Please post them here. But generally it auto-decodes using ffmpg.

Are you accessing by domain name? Is your domain name resolving to your jail?
Try ping photoprism.domain.com from your computer and make sure the IP that it goes to is your photoprism jail IP.

I would try to reinstall from scratch, as I have modified the script a bit.
If that doesn't get you up and running, the we will have to look into the caddy logs at /var/log/caddy/caddy.log

As suggested. Did fresh install. I don't think that the domain is resolving to the jail. How can we debug that?

 

[victort]

If you ran the ping command using your domain, then it would have shown you which IP it is resolving to. If it is not the correct one, you can change this in your router, or in your computers hosts file.

Thanks @victort. I got it up and running, thanks to your script.
