Picapport in a Container

Currently, this is a docker image based on Alpine and has Picapport installed.

Supported Architectures

This multiarch image supports amd64, i386, arm32v6, arm64v8, ppc64le, and s390x on Linux and amd64 on Windows

Starting the container

For Windows & Linux

docker run -d --name picapport -p 8080:80 whatever4711/picapport

Thereafter you can access picapport on http://localhost:8080

Specifying Custom Configurations

Create a file picapport.properties and save it in a folder, e.g. config. You can specify all parameter described in the Picapport server guide:

server.port=80
robot.root.0.path=/srv/photos
foto.jpg.usecache=2
foto.jpg.cache.path=/srv/cache

In this file we specified, e.g., the path for picapport to search for the pictures inside the docker container, and the path, where all cached photos are stored.

Mounting Volumes

Mount your configuration with: -v $PWD/config:/opt/picapport/.picapport
Mount your photos with: -v /path/to/your/fotos:/srv/photos
Eventually mount the cache with -v /path/to/cache:/srv/cache or use a docker volume

docker run -d --name picapport -p 8080:80 -v $PWD/config:/opt/picapport/.picapport -v /path/to/fotos:/srv/photos -v /path/to/cache:/srv/cache whatever4711/picapport
