# Example Docker Compose config file for PhotoPrism (Windows / AMD64) # # Note: # - Running PhotoPrism on a server with less than 4 GB of swap space or setting a memory/swap limit can cause unexpected # restarts ("crashes"), for example, when the indexer temporarily needs more memory to process large files. # - Windows Pro users should disable the WSL 2 based engine in Docker Settings > General so that # they can mount drives other than C:. This will enable Hyper-V, which Microsoft doesn't offer # to its Windows Home customers. Docker Desktop uses dynamic memory allocation with WSL 2. # It's important to explicitly increase the Docker memory limit to 4 GB or more when using Hyper-V. # The default of 2 GB may reduce indexing performance and cause unexpected restarts. # - If you install PhotoPrism on a public server outside your home network, please always run it behind a secure # HTTPS reverse proxy such as Traefik or Caddy. Your files and passwords will otherwise be transmitted # in clear text and can be intercepted by anyone, including your provider, hackers, and governments: # https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/proxies/traefik/ # # Setup Guide: # - https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/ # - https://www.photoprism.app/kb/activation # # Troubleshooting Checklists: # - https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/ # - https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/docker/ # - https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/mariadb/ # - https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/windows/ # # CLI Commands: # - https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/#command-line-interface services: photoprism: ## Use photoprism/photoprism:preview for testing preview builds: image: photoprism/photoprism:latest ## Don't enable automatic restarts until PhotoPrism has been properly configured and tested! ## If the service gets stuck in a restart loop, this points to a memory, filesystem, network, or database issue: ## https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/troubleshooting/#fatal-server-errors # restart: unless-stopped stop_grace_period: 10s depends_on: - mariadb security_opt: - seccomp:unconfined - apparmor:unconfined ## Server port mapping in the format "Host:Container".
