PhotoPrism lxc configuration folder

[gianlucaf81]

I lost a lot of time to understand that the folder to be indexed was inside opt/photoprism/photos/originals/,
It would be useful to write it in the notes.
However this is the configuration in the etc/pve/lxc/XXX.conf file of the lxc

mp0: /mnt/pve/yourmontedfolder/,mp=/opt/photoprism/photos/originals/

I apologize if this is trivial for many but I found conflicting information on the location of this folder and in fact it didn't work until I discovered it.

It's easily discovered if you look at the code

Proxmox/install/photoprism-install.sh

Line 32 in d77cffd

mkdir -p /opt/photoprism/{cache,config,photos/originals,photos/import,storage,temp}

Do you have experience with "no space left on device"? I increased the size of the lxc (from 8 to 17GB) but it doesn't seem to want to start again. Thank you

[Narkowii]

not for me, but my LXC size is 60GB...

[gianlucaf81]

OMG... the db requires more space than I thought.

Again PhotoPrism, I would like to move the "storage" folder to the NAS but I get this error, I can't understand what it is. thanks

Clarification: the files are written correctly to the shared folder on the NAS, however I get that error and Photoprism doesn't start.

I was facing the same error and I just solved by changing the pid file location with PHOTOPRISM_PID_FILENAME=/opt/photoprism/photoprism.pid. Check reference here

[gianlucaf81]

So did you just add that line or did you change the location of the pid file?
