Lychee is a free photo-management tool, which runs on your server or web-space. Installing is a matter of seconds. Upload, manage and share photos like from a native application. Lychee comes with everything you need and all your photos are stored securely."
Please note that the v4 upgrade process resets ALL password-protected albums. Any albums that were made public with a password will need to be re-secured.
Simply pulling
lscr.io/linuxserver/lychee:latest should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Available | Tag |
|---|---|---|
x86-64 | ✅ | amd64-<version tag> |
arm64 | ✅ | arm64v8-<version tag> |
armhf | ❌ | |
This image will not work with a prefilled
/pictures mount, lychee wants total control over this folderSetup mysql/mariadb and account via the webui, accessible at http://SERVERIP:PORT More info at lychee.
In certain scenarios, you might need to change the default settings of Lychee. For instance, if you encounter limitations when uploading large files, you can increase this limit.
The upload limit is defined in the
user.ini file located in the config directory (/config). You can increase this limit by modifying the following values:post_max_size = 500M
upload_max_filesize = 500M
After making these changes, you'll need to restart the Docker container for the changes to take effect. Here's how to do it:
Please note that these changes might have implications on your server's performance, depending on its available resources. Thus, it's recommended to modify these settings with caution.
To help you get started creating a container from this image you can either use docker-compose or the docker cli.

Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate
<external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.Parameter | Function |
|---|---|
80 | http gui |
Env | Function |
|---|---|
PUID=1000 | for UserID - see below for explanation |
PGID=1000 | for GroupID - see below for explanation |
TZ=Etc/UTC | |
DB_CONNECTION=mysql | for specifying the database type |
DB_HOST=mariadb | for specifying the database host |
DB_PORT=3306 | for specifying the database port |
DB_USERNAME=lychee | for specifying the database user |
DB_PASSWORD=dbpassword | for specifying the database password |
DB_DATABASE=lychee | for specifying the database to be used |
Volume | Function |
|---|---|
/config | Contains all relevant configuration files. |
/pictures | Where lychee will store uploaded data. |
You can set any environment variable from a file by using a special prepend
FILE__.As an example:
-e FILE__PASSWORD=/run/secrets/mysecretpassword
Will set the environment variable
PASSWORD based on the contents of the /run/secrets/mysecretpassword file.For all of our images we provide the ability to override the default umask settings for services started within the containers using the optional
-e UMASK=022 setting. Keep in mind umask is not chmod it subtracts from permissions based on it's value it does not add. Please read up here before asking for support.When using volumes (
-v flags), permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container, we avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID.Ensure any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.
In this instance
PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below: $ id username
uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)
We publish various Docker Mods to enable additional functionality within the containers. The list of Mods available for this image (if any) as well as universal mods that can be applied to any one of our images can be accessed via the dynamic badges above.
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it lychee /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f lychee
- Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lychee
- Image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' lscr.io/linuxserver/lychee:latest
