rokeller/photo-search-indexing repository overview

⁠Photo Search by flrx39.net

This image is directly related to the image photo-search⁠. It provides an efficient tool to index photos to later be queried by the services offered in the photo-search image.

This image therefore replaces the old inefficient indexing script created with Python.

⁠Arguments

⁠Path to the embedding model

Running the indexing tool in the image requires the --model parameter. The model path should be set to the 0_CLIPModel directory of the clip-ViT-B-32 Model⁠. A read-only copy of the model is sufficient, and in fact the only file required to be present is:

• ./model.safetensors

All other files can be ignored / skipped / deleted. This means that the overall size of the model and related files is about 570 - 580 MiB.

⁠Path to photos

The tool needs read-only access to the photos in order to index them. This is done through the --photos parameter.

⁠Base URL of the indexing server

The web server from the photo-search⁠ image has an internal indexing server. The indexing tool sends its data to this server for persisting with the vector database. You need to specify the base address of the indexing server with the --indexing-server parameter. If not specified, the default value of http://localhost:8081 is used.

⁠Batch size

You can control the size of each batch of images indexed by the tool. Use the --batch-size parameter for this. By default, a batch size of 20 is used.

⁠Help

Add the --help argument when running the container to get more help.
