Photoprism (New Instance)

Feeling like a bit of a noob today and would love some help or a tutorial if anyone could give me a hand.

I’ve set up plenty of other TrueNAS Apps but photoprism doesn’t seem to be playing nice. I don’t think I quite understand which folders/mounts need to point where and what my photo filing system should look like. I just have a folder called ‘My Photos’ with other folders in it and thought I could just point Photoprism to that.

I tried running up the app from my best understanding and it kept ‘deploying’ then stopping, in the logs for this I found the following error.

level=error msg=“config: found a .ppstorage file in the originals path”

The closest help I got for this was it may be looking at an older Photoprism instance, so I just deleted the dataset and created a new one but that didn’t change anything. If anyone has an idea would love some help!

Hi.
That error can happen due to access permission problem.
One solution is to make 3 sub-datasets.
Check the attachments for more info.
Dataset creation was mainly default, only the preset was changed to “Apps” for all 4 datasets.
