Overview PhotoPrism is the popular AI-powered, open source, self-hosted application for browsing, organising and sharing your photo and video collection. It uses on-device machine learning to automatically tag your pictures by their content and location, recognise faces, and group similar shots, so you can find any photo in an instant with powerful search. It handles RAW files, live photos and videos, and presents everything in a fast, modern web interface with maps, calendars and albums. This image delivers PhotoPrism fully installed and configured as a system service, so a private photo library is running within minutes of launch. The current release available is PhotoPrism 260601 (June 2026).
Application Stack PhotoPrism is delivered as the official upstream container image, run by a systemd service as an unprivileged account. It listens on the loopback address and an nginx reverse proxy fronts the application on port 80, with the upgrade headers PhotoPrism needs and a raised upload limit for large photos and videos. A systemd service starts PhotoPrism on boot and restarts it on failure. The image bundles the TensorFlow model, ffmpeg, libheif and the RAW converters needed for automatic tagging, face recognition and format conversion, and runs entirely on the CPU with no GPU required.
Secure By Default This image generates a fresh administrator password uniquely for your instance on its first boot, before the application starts, writes it to a root only file, and requires login. No shared or default credentials ship in the image, and the photo index ships empty.
Ready To Use Browse to the instance on port 80, sign in as the administrator, and add your photos by uploading them through the web interface or copying them to the originals folder and starting an index. PhotoPrism automatically extracts metadata, generates thumbnails, tags the content with machine learning and recognises faces. Your originals, the index database, thumbnail cache and sidecar files live on a dedicated, independently resizable storage volume kept separate from the operating system disk. SQLite is the default index; teams with very large libraries can switch to MariaDB.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Connect via SSH on port 22 as the default login user for your operating system variant (the user guide lists it per variant; on Ubuntu it is 'ubuntu'). The PhotoPrism application is served by nginx on port 80: browse to http://<instance-public-ip>/ and sign in. Retrieve the generated administrator credentials with: sudo cat /root/photoprism-credentials.txt (sign in with the user and password shown). PhotoPrism runs as a Docker container on loopback port 2342 and is reached only through the nginx proxy on port 80. Configuration lives in /etc/photoprism/photoprism.env and the data (originals, the SQLite index, thumbnail cache and sidecar files) under /var/lib/photoprism. The service is managed with systemctl (photoprism.service, nginx.service). After signing in, add photos by uploading them through the web interface or copying them into /var/lib/photoprism/originals and starting an index from the library menu. The user guide covers uploading and indexing photos, automatic tagging and face recognition, backups, switching to MariaDB and enabling HTTPS.
