Is it safe to use Photonix with my existing folder structure?

19 Jun 2021, 12:27 a.m.

Photonix doesn’t make any changes to your existing photos – it only generates tags and other data in it’s own database. If you upload photos through Photonix’s web or mobile interfaces then Photonix will add the uploaded files to your photos folder but they will remain unmodified.

If you want to be extra certain that Photonix can’t modify your photos you can bind the folder as a read-only Docker volume using something like -v volume-name:/path/in/container:ro in Docker run or adding :ro to the end of a volume path in your docker-compose.yml file.

Looks like a great platform! Love the AI auto tagging features and geo mapping. A feature that is long being left as a secondary element.

Great to see object detection in free software!

Face recognition is another thing I'd very much miss away from Google Photos, but harder to get right as well?

This looks really great! Are there ever any plans to add some kind of automatic sync from mobile? I'm sooo ready to switch off of Amazon Photos but I need that auto-sync action! :)
