+===== Librephotos Setup =====
+=== Docker-compose method (Recommended) ===
+Clone the repo: ''git clone git@github.com:LibrePhotos/librephotos-docker.git''
+  cp librephotos.env .env
+Open ''.env'' in your favorite text editor and make the required changes.
+Do not forget to create the directories you specified in the ''.env'' file if they do not exist.
+Run
+  docker-compose up -d
+You should have librephotos accessible after a few minutes of boot-up on: ''localhost:3000'' unless you changed it in the ''.env'' file. User is ''admin'', password is ''admin'' unless you changed it in the ''.env'' file. It is recommended you change the admin username and password if Libre Photos is going to be publicly accessible via the .env file.
+=== First steps after setting up ===
+  - You need to log in as the ''admin'' user, and set up the directory for the users. To do this, click the top right button, and go to Admin Area. On this page, it will show a list of users. Manually set the Scan Directory for the desired user. Only an admin can do this.
+  - Then, go to ''Dashboard > Library'' and click the green ''Scan photos (file system)'' button.
+  - If you have a **Nextcloud** instance, you can also input login details for it in the ''Dashboard > Library'' page. Once logged in (the little circle next to Nextcloud Scan Directory will be green), you can choose a top level directory in your logged in Nextcloud account. Once this has been configured, you can click the blue ''Scan photos (Nextcloud)'' button. This will copy the contents of the specified Nextcloud directory to the local filesystem.
+The basic idea is this:
+  - For scanning photos that reside in the **local file system**. Only the admin user can change the “scan directory” of the users, including the admin itself. Normal users cannot change his/her own “scan directory”.  Only the admin can find the page to control this under the “user icon (top right) - admin area”
+  - For scanning photos that reside in **external Nextcloud instances**. Any user can change his/her own Nextcloud endpoint, and choose a top level directory in the  Nextcloud account.
+=== Auto scan all folders ===
+You can start a scan with the following command:
+  sudo docker exec --user root CONTAINER_NAME python3 manage.py scan
+You can just create a cron job to regularly call this command
+  # Every day at 3 AM
+3 * * * sudo docker exec --user root CONTAINER_NAME python3 manage.py scan >/dev/null 2>&1
+===== Imagestore setup =====
+Installation instructions:
+Docker prebuilt images
+Requirements:
+  Docker
+  Docker-compose
+  For automatic labeling: x86_64 CPU (also known as x64, x86_64, AMD64 and Intel 64)
+Download the docker-compose.yml: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gregordr/ImageStore/main/docker-compose.yml.
+Edit it according to your liking, then run docker-compose up. Note that you need to comment back in one of the two labelers, in case you want automatic image labeling.
+Go to ''http://localhost:3000'', or alternatively the port you have chosen to use.
+<code yaml docker-compose.yml>
