[Help] Docker container not able to find mounted volumes [SOLVED]

[SDS24]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get Photoprism up and running in a docker container, but it seems that either something has gone wrong with mounting the folders or something is going wrong with the user permissions to even view the mounted host directories.
I'm running it on an F4-424 pro.

The app runs fine, I can manually upload files just fine, but I am unable to find the host folders through the application.

This is the yml file I'm using

You can check in Docker to ensure that the mounted folder is correct and verify if the appropriate read/write permissions have been assigned.

Thanks for the reply! I checked and that seems to be just fine?

Please check the mount path of the data volume corresponding to the screenshot inside the container. Please note that the folder on the host machine will not be directly visible inside the container; instead, it is mapped through the form of data volume mounting.

Hi there,

I seem to have solved thee mystery,
- "/Volume1/Photos/Shared Photos:/Photoprism/originals"
should have been
- "/Photos/Shared Photos:/photoprism/originals"

Thanks! We can consider this solved
