Getting Updates

Docker Compose

Open a terminal on your server, and run the following commands to pull the latest container image and restart PhotoPrism:

docker-compose pull photoprism
docker-compose stop photoprism
docker-compose up -d photoprism

Pulling a new version can take several minutes, depending on your internet connection.

Advanced users may put this into a Makefile so that they only need to type a single command.

See Setup Using Docker Compose for a full command reference.

Preview Builds

Update your docker-compose.yml to use photoprism/photoprism:preview instead of photoprism/photoprism:latest for testing our latest development preview. The image name for ARM64 is photoprism/photoprism-arm64:preview.

Watchtower

Adding Watchtower as a service to your docker-compose.yml will automatically keep images up-to-date:

services:
  watchtower:
    image: containrrr/watchtower
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - "/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"

Info

Automatic updates may interrupt indexing and importing operations. Only enable Watchtower if you are comfortable with this.

Pure Docker

Open a terminal on your server, and run the following command to pull the latest container image:

docker pull photoprism/photoprism:latest

For our Raspberry Pi / ARM64 version:

docker pull photoprism/photoprism-arm64:latest

See Running PhotoPrism with Docker for a full command reference.

Preview Builds

Use photoprism/photoprism:preview instead of photoprism/photoprism:latest for testing our latest development preview. The image name for ARM64 is photoprism/photoprism-arm64:preview.
