PhotoPrism is a server-based application for automatically tagging, searching and organizing digital photo collections.
It is functionally similar to popular cloud services such as [Flickr](https://www.flickr.com/) or [Google Photos](https://photos.google.com/).
Originals are stored in the file system in a structured way for easy backup and reliable long-term accessibility.
*Note: This software is under active development. There is no stable release yet. Please leave a star if you think this is useful and ask if you have any questions.*
The final release will contain the following features (tested as a proof-of-concept):
- [Web frontend](assets/docs/img/screenshot.jpg)
- High-performance command line tool
- No proprietary or binary data formats
- Automatic RAW to JPEG conversion
- Duplicate detection (JPEG and RAW can be used simultaneously)
- Automated tagging using [Google TensorFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_go)
- [Reverse geocoding](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim#Reverse_Geocoding) based on latitude and longitude
- Image search with powerful filters
- Albums to organize your photos
- Easy backup and export
Web Frontend
------------
Open a terminal an type `photoprism start` to start the built-in server. It will listen on port 80 by default.
The UI is based on [Vuetify](https://vuetifyjs.com/en/), a [Material Design](https://material.io/) component framework for Vue.js 2.

Setup
-----
Before you start, make sure you got Git and Docker installed on your system.
Instead of using Docker, you can also setup your own runtime environment
based on the existing Docker configuration (not recommended).
**Step 1:** Run [Git](https://getcomposer.org/) to clone this project:
```
git clone git@github.com:photoprism/photoprism.git
```
**Step 2:** Start [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) containers:
```
cd photoprism
docker-compose up
```
*Note: This docker-compose configuration is for testing and development purposes only.*
**Step 3:** Open a terminal to run tests and commands:
```
docker-compose exec photoprism bash
make
make test
make install
go run cmd/photoprism/photoprism.go start
```
See [Quick and easy guide for migrating to Go 1.11 modules](https://blog.liquidbytes.net/2018/09/quick-and-easy-guide-for-migrating-to-go-1-11-modules/) for an introduction to Go Modules and Makefiles.
Directory Layout
----------------
The directory layout is loosely based on https://github.com/golang-standards/project-layout.
Assets like photos, built JavaScript/CSS files and HTML templates are located in `assets/` by default. You can configure individual paths in the config file, using environment variables or command flags.
Example configuration files can be found in `configs/`.
The frontend code is located in `frontend/`. Developers run `npm run dev` to watch files and automatically re-build them when changed.
All other paths contain Go source code and scripts used for building the application.
Command-line Interface
----------------------
Running `photoprism` without arguments displays usage hints:
