Photo Search API Server

This is the web server offering the Photo Search APIs required by the GUI, as well as the internal indexing API required by the index-photos.py script.

The server does not manage the vectors and photo metadata itself. Instead, it relies on qdrant for doing so. You then need to pass the address (host name/IP and port) of qdrant the gRPC endpoint to the web server using the --qdrant-addr flag. For example:

web --qdrant-addr photo-search-db:6334

qdrant installation

You need to install qdrant. It's easy to do so using helm and an existing Kubernetes cluster.

# if the qdrant helm repo isn't added yet:
helm repo add qdrant https://qdrant.github.io/qdrant-helm

helm repo update
helm upgrade -i photo-search-db qdrant/qdrant
