Picapport docker with OMV on RaspberryPI

[gustavo...@gmail.com]

Hello everyone,

I would like to try out picapport as a gallery tool for my pictures in a OMV server, installed on a raspberry pi.

After installing the docker container following these instructions, I can access the picapport under http://localhost:8080, but all I can see is an empty folder "Local collection" and the statement " The Picapport server is currently not available. Fotos stored localy can be viewed." (see picture)

 

The insallation is pretty straightforward, so I do not see where did I get it wrong.

I have mounted three volumes:

/opt/picapport/config --> where the picapport.properties file is located

/opt/picapport/Fotos --> here I have one picture for test purposes

/opt/picapport/cache --> empty

My first suspicion was, I am having some kind of port conflict, but I could not find anything wrong. I am able to access the container, only the data is missing.

What am I missing here? 

Thank you in advance for your help!

I'm not a Docker specialist but my guess ist that PicApport needs full read/write access to the configuration directory .picapport and all of it's subdirectories

[gustavo...@gmail.com]

Hello,

after searching around for a while I think you are right about the reason for my problem.

The thing is, I am still not able to find, where the .picapport folder is located in my host, so I can change the permissions.

Apparently it is hidden somewehre under the overlay2 driver.

This is more a Docker issue than a PicApport one, but now I know what to look for.

Thanks for your answer!

Hi Gustavo,

I'm not sure but are you maybe wrongly "mounting" the volumes to your container? Do you have the docker run or in case you use docker-compose the docker-compose.yml available?

I still have picapport not running in a docker but I'm using docker (docker-compose based) containers for various reasons.

Kind Regards

Martin

Hello Martin,

thank you for your answer. I have installed docker with the following command:

docker run -d --name picapport -p 8080:80 -v /srv/dev-disk-by-label-HddTevion500GB/AppData:/opt/picapport/.picapport -v /srv/dev-disk-by-label-HddTevion500GB/Fotos:/srv/photos whatever4711/picapport

After that I can access the container with "docker exec -it picapport /bin/sh" and I see ,that the data created in "AppData" is also available under /opt/picapport/.picapport.

When save a picture under "Fotos" in my device, I can also find it in the container under "/srv/photos".

So the mounting seems to be correct, I just can not access the server through the browser. 

I have also tried giving all users full read/write access to the .picapport directory, but that also did not work.

Kind regards,

Gustavo

Hi Gustavo,

does your server.port parameter in /opt/picapport/.picapport/picapport.properties match the right part of the port mapping?

e.g. I have

server.port=8084

and in my docker-compose.yml

    ports:
      - 8084:8084

I just moved my setup from normal to docker, and it works correctly I think.

Unfortunately I think we do not have a way to access the java console to enter some commands there.

Kind Regards

Martin

Hello Martin,

I tried installing it again using docker-compose and I still get the same error.

Here is what I have:

picapport.properties:

server.port=80

robot.root.0.path=/srv/photos

foto.jpg.usecache=2

foto.jpg.cache.path=/srv/cache

docker-compose.yml:

version: '3' 

services:

  picapport:

    image: whatever4711/picapport

    container_name: picapport

    restart: always

    ports:

      - 8080:80

    volumes:

      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-HddTevion500GB/AppData/picapport:/opt/picapport/.picapport

      - /srv/dev-disk-by-label-HddTevion500GB/Fotos:/srv/photos

As I have showed, I can access the picapport service under the port 8080, the problem is that the server is then not available.

Thank you for your help

Best Regards

Gustavo

Hi Gustavo,

what do you mean by:

As I have showed, I can access the picapport service under the port 8080, the problem is that the server is then not available.

How did you test/check on those information?
