Breaking Changes

  • Starting with this release, an activation of your license under Settings > Upgrade is required. This is necessary in order for us to publicly distribute the Docker image, making it easier to install. Our Knowledge Base explains how you can activate your instances if you have not already done so.
  • If you keep the default settings, daily database backups will be automatically created, with up to 3 backup files being retained. This is to prevent the available storage space from filling up. We recommend setting the corresponding config options before installing the update if you want to disable scheduled backups, keep more backup files, or prefer a specific time for creating backups. The previously available --disable-backups flag has been deprecated in favor of these finer-grained options.
  • In order to preserve ICC color profiles and reduce memory usage, new thumbnails will be generated with the libvips image processing library. You can run the photoprism thumbs -f command in a terminal to regenerate your existing thumbs as needed, or delete the storage/cache/thumbnails folder and then re-index your library. To continue using the native image processing library, set PHOTOPRISM_THUMB_LIBRARY to "imaging" in your compose.yaml or docker-compose.yml configuration file. Note that if you build from source, the system on which you build and/or run PhotoPrism Pro must have libvips >= 8.10 installed.
