PhotoPrism, Part Four

When I go to use PhotoPrism today I'm having trouble logging in with the password I saved in my password manager. Strange. After checking online I find in PhotoPrism's documentation a command to help resolve this issue:

  • docker exec -ti <container_name> photoprism passwd

That helps clear up that issue and I now have a copy of the command in my notes so that will make it easy in case I need this again.

I was doing some testing of uploading photos from my iPhone app. The app is running just fine and says the photos are uploaded successfully but I notice they are not showing up if I check the folder in Explorer. It turns out the network mount had not successfully mounted on PHOTOPRISM-01. When I try to run the mount -t command it came back with the following error:
mount error (5): Input/Output error

From reading online I am find a lot of different possibilities for causes and fixes to this error. In my case the problem was actually that my _service_photoprism account is locked. Unlocking it from AD resolves my mounting issue. Why the heck was the account locked though? I begin to pull up the logs to take a look and figure out what happened, but I'm out of time and will have to tackle it again another day.
