App used for photo viewing

[hlab]

This may not be related to `proxmox` as such. [If not very helpful for discussion here let me know I can delete the htread]
Usecase:
I'm running pve with ZFS
One container (say lxc1) runs SAMBA share, all devices in house copy media to lxc1.
I would like to run another container (lxc2) with access to ZFS photo directory.
I want to open lxc2 IP address in browser and look at photos in house.

I'm currently trying out `photoprism` (because instructions were easier- pve helper script), it seems to work well but maybe overkill for my need?
`pigallery2` looks more inline with what I need but I didn't find much info on how to run on `LXD/LXC`. If anyon e have pointer please let me know.

Or maybe I should figure out passing mount to docker

I see it’s been a while since this was posted, but I wanted to chime in—has anyone tried Immich recently? I’ve been playing around with it and it’s pretty slick, especially with facial recognition and auto-upload from phones. Feels like a good self-hosted option for photo viewing. Curious if anyone here has it running smoothly on a Proxmox container or VM.

Yes, Immich works fine, im running it on a homeserver.

Immich is OK. It has pretty good facial recognition and AI. But it completely bogged down my Ryzen 5 processor for a while. I don't have a discrete GPU and Immich really benefits from a discrete GPU, especially Nvidia. The one thing that really bothers me in Immich is the lack of capability around shared volumes. I created an account for me, imported the photo library, and did all the facial recognition. When I created an account for my wife, I can share the library with her, but from her account none of the facial recognition data transfers over. In her account I would have to re-run the AI and it is going to re-do the processing and store the data twice, once in my account and once in hers. That was a deal breaker for me. It's a known bug too. The other thing about Immich is they have not yet reached a stable release. Every release is still beta.
