options:

opt1 - on top of LXC container install (ZeroTier will be a pain)

opt2 - VM (preferred)

---

1. install docker, easiest way below:

   bash <(curl -s https://setup.photoprism.app/ubuntu/install-docker.sh)
   

   config

• Ensure you change password for 1. Client and MarianDB from insecure default password
• Also when mounting volumes be explicit and state full path i.e. /home/friendlyantz/Pictures/photoprism_originals instead of ~/Pictures/photoprism_originals as the latter can put Pictures forlder under /root instead of /home/friendlyantz

      - "/home/friendlyantz/Pictures/photoprism_originals:/photoprism/originals"               # Original media files (DO NOT REMOVE)
      - "/home/friendlyantz/Pictures/Archive:/photoprism/originals/archive" # *Additional* media folders can be mounted like this
  

  Also, 1st line is for originals, 2nd for additional folders. Left side is your local path, right side is the path inside the container and will be displayed in UI are /archive in this case.
