Getting Started

1. Create a folder and move to the folder

   mkdir photoprism && cd photoprism
   
2. Create a docker-compose.yml file and add the following content:
   docker-compose.yml

   services:
     photoprism:
       image: photoprism/photoprism:latest
       container_name: photoprism
       ports:
         - "2342:2342"
       environment:
         PHOTOPRISM_ADMIN_USER: "admin"
         PHOTOPRISM_ADMIN_PASSWORD: "demo"
         PHOTOPRISM_DATABASE_DRIVER: "mysql"
         PHOTOPRISM_DATABASE_SERVER: "mariadb:3306"
         PHOTOPRISM_DATABASE_NAME: "photoprism"
         PHOTOPRISM_DATABASE_USER: "photoprism"
         PHOTOPRISM_DATABASE_PASSWORD: "demo"
       volumes:
         - ./originals:/photoprism/originals
         - ./storage:/photoprism/storage
       depends_on:
         - mariadb
   
     mariadb:
       image: mariadb:11
       container_name: photoprism_mariadb
       environment:
         MARIADB_ROOT_PASSWORD: "demo"
         MARIADB_DATABASE: "photoprism"
         MARIADB_USER: "photoprism"
         MARIADB_PASSWORD: "demo"
       volumes:
         - ./database:/var/lib/mysql
   
3. Start the containers:

   docker compose up -d
   
4. Wait for initialization (this may take 1-2 minutes on first run):

   docker compose logs -f photoprism
   
   Look for "server started" message in the logs, then press Ctrl+C to exit
5. Open the browser and go to http://localhost:2342
