Managing Your PhotoPrism Using Shell / SSH
The Shell / SSH service enables you to use Linux commands to manage your applications on the client panel. You can issue commands as if you are inside a container and perform local operations like monitoring, debugging, and using CLI commands specific to what is running in the container. This article will show you how to manage your PhotoPrism using shell / SSH.
Note: For security reasons, only the accounts have passed our verification will be granted permission to the Shell / SSH service. If you would like to enable it, please update your billing information. Our staff will finish verifying your information within 2 hours.
