Docker

Building Docker image

If you don't want to install various Perl deps on your system, build a Docker image instead.

docker build -t photo_prism_yaml_to_exif:latest .

Using Docker image

Run the Docker image and use volumes to mount your PhotoPrism originals and sidecar directories.

In this example, both my originals and sidecar directories are under the same directory, so I am only using one volume. My host system is running SELinux (Fedora Linux) so I also had to add the :z option for permissions to work.

docker run -it -v /home/jonathan/Downloads/photoprism-snapshot:/photos:z djjudas21/photo_prism_yaml_to_exif bash

Once the container is running, the script can be run in the usual way:

root@c077d6ed1882:/usr/src/app# perl photo_prism_yaml_to_exif.pl --image_dir /photos/originals/ --yaml_dir /photos/sidecar/ --log_level info

Notes

Correct population of the --dirs_ignore option with its intended implementation like:

--dirs_ignore dir1 dir2 dir3

requires a patch to Getopt::Long::Descriptive.

A patch for Getopt::Long::Descriptive v2.55 is supplied.
