Using Docker on TrueNAS

Create user and directory

In order to avoid problems caused by directory permissions, please create a data set for storing MT Photos data and App backup photos in the storage pool;

1. Create a user in users
2. Create a user group in the user group
3. Add mtphotos and sub-datasets config and upload to the dataset
4. In the permissions of the dataset, change the owner to the corresponding user and user group

If you have created users and user groups before, you can skip steps 1 and 2

Add a directory to the application

1. Click [Apps] in the left navigation bar
2. Click the [Add Directory] button on the top toolbar
3. Enter the directory name mt-photos
4. Repository input https://gitee.com/mt-photos/charts.git or https://github.com/MT-Photos/charts.git

It is recommended to use gitee in China to avoid failure to update the directory due to network problems

Install the app

1. Find mtphotos in the available apps, you can search above;
2. Click Install, and then select /config and /upload directories to be mapped;
3. Add other directory mappings according to whether there are other photo directories that need to be mapped;
4. Other parts do not need to be modified, click Save below

If the installation application encounters an error: Following service(s) uses this path: SMB Share, you can uncheck [Enable Host Path (Host Path) security check] in Application -> Settings -> Advanced Settings and save it.
