Luca 899c9b3407 docs(docker): Hub pages for aio + ml, and the image table in the README
picpeak/ml has an empty Hub overview and picpeak/aio has none at all,
while backend and frontend carry hand-written ones — so the two newest
images are the two with nothing on their registry page.

Adds .github/dockerhub/{aio,ml}.md as the source of those pages and a
dockerhub-descriptions job that pushes them on every main merge, so the
page cannot drift from the release it describes. backend/frontend stay
hand-maintained for now: capturing their current Hub text into files is
a prerequisite, not a side effect of this change.

README gains a registry table for all four images (both registries share
digests and tags), the org-move callout lists the full set, and the
feature list finally mentions People in this gallery, which shipped in
#1074 without a README line.

picpeak — All-in-one

picpeak is an open-source, self-hosted photo-sharing platform for photographers, with an optional CRM / accounting suite. This image is the all-in-one build: the backend, the built web UI and SQLite in one container, one process — no compose file, no separate database, no reverse proxy to wire up.

Supported tags

  • latest / stable — latest stable release
  • x.y.z — a pinned release (recommended for production)
  • beta / main — latest build from main (may be unstable)
  • Architectures: linux/amd64, linux/arm64 (x86 and ARM NAS)

Quick start

docker run -d --name picpeak -p 3000:3000 \
  -v picpeak:/data \
  -e JWT_SECRET="$(openssl rand -base64 48)" \
  picpeak/aio:stable

Then open http://localhost:3000/admin and complete the setup wizard. Read the one-time setup token with:

docker exec picpeak cat /data/db/SETUP_TOKEN

🔗 Share links need to know your address. The image defaults FRONTEND_URL to http://localhost:3000; pass -e FRONTEND_URL=https://photos.example.com (or set the site URL in Settings) before you send a gallery to a client.

Ports & volumes

  • Container port 3000 (HTTP; put your own TLS terminator in front for public use).
  • One volume: /data — back it up and you have backed up the install.
    • /data/dbpicpeak.db and SETUP_TOKEN
    • /data/storage — originals, thumbnails, archives
    • /data/logs, /data/backup

External Postgres

SQLite is this image's default, not its only option. Point it at an existing database exactly like the backend image:

-e DATABASE_CLIENT=pg -e DB_HOST=… -e DB_USER=… -e DB_PASSWORD=…

How it differs from the compose stack

  • SQLite takes one writer at a time — right for a home server, a NAS or a single studio; the compose stack with PostgreSQL is what scales.
  • No Redis — background jobs run in-process.
  • Face recognition is unavailable here. It needs the separate picpeak/ml sidecar, and a second image-processing pipeline competing with thumbnailing for one container's CPU would just make the install slow. Run the multi-container deployment for that feature.

You can move to the full stack later without reinstalling: take a .picpeak backup and restore it there.
