Let me try again (and now check what I'm typing before clicking POST):


The line
- "/home/pi/Pictures:/photoprism/originals" # Original media files (DO NOT REMOVE)
tells docker to "link" the directory on SD-card /home/pi/Pictures to the directory /photoprism/originals inside the docker photoprism container.

[If you copied from the post at 11:28 then that might explain the issues. I honestly do not know why the s disappeared as I only copied some code... sorry]

At this stage what I would do is:

1) stop and remove all containers shown with docker ps -a and docker ps until docker ps -a shows

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                   COMMAND                  CREATED        STATUS                      PORTS

2a) Remove all files and directories below /home/pi/photoprism to make sure you start from scratch again.
2b) Also remove any /home/pi/database and /home/pi/photoprism/database directory
2c) (optional) set correct user:
(remove spaces between p & i and i & : and : & p)

sudo chown p i : p i /home/pi/Pictures -R *
sudo chown p i : p i /home/pi/photoprism -R *
This makes certain that all used directories are readable and writable by user pi.

3) change docker-compose.yml in /home/pi/photoprism

    volumes:
      # "/host/folder:/photoprism/folder"                # Example
      - "/home/pi/Pictures:/photoprism/originals"               # Original media files (DO NOT REMOVE)
      # - "/example/family:/photoprism/originals/family" # *Additional* media folders can be mounted like this
      # - "~/Import:/photoprism/import"                  # *Optional* base folder from which files can be imported to originals
      - "/home/pi/photoprism/storage:/photoprism/storage"                  # *Writable* storage folder for cache, database, and sidecar files (DO NOT REMOVE)

Please review and make sure you understand what to do (and correct me if I'm wrong).
