I personally found this really easy to initially install, much easier than photo prism.. however it's died twice on me (postgres issues) first was due to an update and then incorrect permissions... I'm not sure what broke it the second time... So whilst easy to install, does still require maintenance and time to fix issues.

Strange, postgres is usually not the one to die. My server is permanently running out of space, so I have to keep deleting shit, and my PG did not die once. On the other hand, my other very old server (not updated in 3 years) has it's PG die (and automatically restart) at least once a day.

Yeah, I'm sure it's user error somewhere. But trying to find / read logs etc etc or do any type of fault finding is a bit of a grind because I don't use Linux enough to become proficient
