PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently? - eviltoast

So the final thing tethering me to macOS is Apple Photos, which is really a fantastic program.

PhotoPrism looks like it’s improving quickly, but I was curious to know how it’s going today with regards to:

  • Search filters
    • Date
    • Place
    • Object/person recognition
    • Text recognition
  • Live Photo support
  • Ease of importing
  • Album support, including smart albums
  • Built-in touch ups
  • General stability

    I’m uploading to a directory using syncthing. It’s working perfectly fine without any scripts. I’m running Photoprism in a docker container.

      So you have photoprism pointed to a folder but you push photos into the folder witb syncthing. How do you trigger the re-index or its somehow automatic? I run my photoprism in docker and I always had to manually trigger the index after changes to the folder.

        Yes, exactly. I push photos into the “import folder” of Photoprism. I don’t manually trigger the re-index but I restart photoprism at night using a cronjob. I am not using settings like “PHOTOPRISM_AUTO_IMPORT”. Contact me if you need me to investigate more.
