# Example Docker Compose config file for PhotoPrism (Linux / AMD64) # # Note: # - Running PhotoPrism on a server with less than 4 GB of swap space or setting a memory/swap limit can cause unexpected # restarts ("crashes"), for example, when the indexer temporarily needs more memory to process large files. # - If you install PhotoPrism on a public server outside your home network, please always run it behind a secure # HTTPS reverse proxy such as Traefik or Caddy.
