It makes your entire collection available to you, whichever device you’re using — as long as you can get to a web browser.

## Common questions

### What port does Photonix use by default?

Photonix listens on port 8888 by default after Docker Compose starts.

### How do I create the first account and library?

The initial superuser and library need to be created from the command line using the manage.py createsuperuser and create_library commands with docker-compose run.

### Where should I put photos so Photonix imports them?

Move the photos into the data/photos volume directory, where they should be detected and imported immediately.

### What should I do if Docker commands fail with a permission error?

Add your user to the docker group with usermod, log out and back in, and restart the machine if the permission problem still remains.

### Does the web app require JavaScript?

Yes, the Photonix app will not run unless JavaScript is enabled in your browser.
