[Lychee](https://lycheeorg.github.io/) 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.
We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker [here](https://github.com/docker/distribution/blob/master/docs/spec/manifest-v2-2.md#manifest-list) and our announcement [here](https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/02/21/the-lsio-pipeline-project/).
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.
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.
#### Increasing Upload 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:
```ini
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.**
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.
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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umask) 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`.

We publish various [Docker Mods](https://github.com/linuxserver/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.
