tried loads following this on ubuntu about photoprism-debian HOT 17 CLOSED

Hard to say without knowing any actual details. What version of Ubuntu? Did you get any errors during the installation? Did you check the system logs and the output of systemctl status photoprism?

from photoprism-debian.

its the latest 22.04 server version.

and no errors in syslog or in journalctl and the staus shows it running.
it is a very strange one, i even tried connecting using lynx locally and still refuses to connect.
i disabled the ufw firewall to ensure it wasnt being blocked by that.
i tried several times full new installs of ubuntu both with and without the lamp stack so i could try both mariadb and sqlite3.

nothing has seemed to work and no clear cut errors anywhere :(

from photoprism-debian.

Im trying again with no lamp stack just plain sqlite3 version :)
Here is the 1st log from the make all command, it does have a couple of deprecated warnings but that is all, there are no errors that I can see...

Nov 21 21:52:45 photos systemd[1]: Started PhotoPrism service.

So again, it looks like it starts fine

however, when i go to http://192.168.xxx.xxx:2342 i get forwarded to the /library/login page but again just get an error 500 :(

from photoprism-debian.

Got the bugga :)
it created a swapfile in the root called /swap.file
I changed the ownership of the swapfile to photoprism and now it starts :)
however it is incredibly slow and first time i logged in it did crash the service.
2nd time i logged in it is running but still feels very slow.
its an i5 6600t minimal ubuntu 22.04 server with 8gb ram that i am running it on

from photoprism-debian.

I have turned the logging back down to normal and not so slow now, but not as fast as i would like for a web app. I will play a bit more and see how it goes :)

from photoprism-debian.

Interesting. I haven't had this issue myself, though I've tested mainly in VMs, not directly on a physical machine.

Are you saying the /swap.file wasn't there before you installed Photoprism, but was there afterwards, and owned by root:root?

Is this a clean Ubuntu 22.04 install, or are you running something else on it as well? You mention the LAMP stack a couple of times, but that's not necessary for running Photoprism, it includes its own web server. If you want to reverse proxy it, then sure, Apache can do that, though something like Nginx might be a better choice.

What's the output of free -h ?

from photoprism-debian.

each install i tried is a fresh clean minimal install of ubuntu
The swap.file was there already, but photoprism could not access or make use of it.
I am looking for a better way to provide access to the swap file for photoprism currently.

as i said previous, i tried with and without the lamp stack, i currently do not have the lamp stack but will this time install just mariadb as it performs far better than sqlite3.

before that however i can see another issue, even with 8gb ram and a 4gb swapfile, after leaving it idling overnight i can now see i am suffering out of memory issues.
I have nothing installed on the box except photoprism requirements and only uploaded 8 photographs to test with.

2 photoprisk processes got killed overnight due to out of memory.

right now the output of free -h is
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 7.7Gi 6.8Gi 172Mi 1.0Mi 670Mi 594Mi
Swap: 4.0Gi 4.0Gi 1.0Mi

You shouldn't need to do anything to enable Photoprism to use the swap space, that's handled by the OS.

It definitely looks like something is using all available memory, forcing the system to use swap, which would cause the slowdown. Is it all being used by Photoprism?

My personal instance (running on Debian 11 in an LXC container) idles at around 500 MB, though I think I'm a few versions behind the latest. I've seen some posts on r/photoprism recently about high RAM usage and crashes, so maybe it's related to a recent update.

You could also try setting it up with Docker on the same machine, see if that makes a difference.

from photoprism-debian.

yes it is all being used by photoprism
there is almost nothing else on the box as it is a very clean new install
I have just added another 8GB of ram and set the ownership back correct on the swapfile
However, I am back to square 1, setting the ownership back correct has left me with the error 500 again.
It appears photoprism needs direct access to the swapfile as the photoprism user

as for docker, no thanks lol :)
im trying to get this working without docker as i do not want it or use it :)

from photoprism-debian.

I just set up a Debian 11 VM with 2 GB of RAM and a 1 GB swapfile:

$ ls -lh /swap*
-rw------- 1 root root 1.0G Nov 22 12:10 /swapfile
$ free -h
               total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           1.9Gi       1.1Gi       282Mi       0.0Ki       529Mi       652Mi
Swap:          1.0Gi       4.0Mi       1.0Gi

Then I set up Photoprism and imported a few photos. Everything worked just fine, no crashes. I can see some swap usage, though not much; I'd probably need to import a lot more photos.

I have no idea why your system is behaving the way it is, sorry. I can try with Ubuntu 22.04 as well, but it'll take some time, I have to set up and install the VM from scratch (for Debian I can just clone a template on my Proxmox host).

Can you post a screenshot of the 500 error? Is there anything in the browser's Javascript console (F12 to open developer tools -> Console tab)? Anything in /var/log/syslog?

i have re-enabled the trace and changed the log so it logs to its own file
and can definately see its a swap file access issue

photoprism appears to start correctly as pointed out previously
however, every time i try to visit the site this appears in the trace log...
Notice the permission denied on the swapfile in the first line
if i change ownership of the swapfile to photoprism it then loads fine in the browser
its definately something to do with how its trying to use the swap file even now i have 16gb ram in the box

I have it working again :)
im not 100% sure what has fixed it
1st, i disabled the swap file and rebooted
2nd i then deleted the old swap file
3rd, i can see from the above log snippett that it is using 2 folders
a: /home/mike/photoprism/ (from where i installed it)
b: /root/go/ ( i guess the build running the sudo commands placed this here)
I chown'ed both of those folders to photoprism
now it is starting fine without any swap enabled

by the way, do you have a email address, i have found something that may be of use to you

from photoprism-debian.

100% swap file issue, i recreated and enabled the swapfile again, and back to error 500 :)
i need to figure why its trying to use swap

from photoprism-debian.

Yeah, I haven't seen anything like that before. It's also strange that it's running from /root/go...

from photoprism-debian.

this is the script that installs go-tools in /root :)

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/photoprism/photoprism/develop/scripts/dist/install-go-tools.sh
Installing Go tools for X86_64 in /root/go...

I am going to look at something else now, i spent a lot of time these last few days looking at getting this installed without docker and there is several things i dont like for example.
deprecated/unsupported packages are used
having to disable swap file
having it run from /root
and a few other things

thankyou for your efforts tho

Fair enough, good luck!
