Damselfly

A server-based Digital Asset Management (DAM) system for organizing, searching, and managing large photo and video libraries. AI-powered face detection, keyword tagging, and fast full-text search.

What You Can Do After Deployment

Visit your domain to access the Damselfly web interface. Add photos to the /pictures volume and Damselfly will automatically index them.

Photo management: Browse your entire photo library with thumbnail previews. Navigate by folder structure or use the timeline view sorted by date.

AI face detection: Damselfly automatically detects and groups faces in your photos. Tag people by name and quickly find all photos of a specific person.

Search and filter: Full-text search across filenames, keywords, EXIF metadata, and face tags. Filter by date range, camera model, lens, or location.

Tagging: Add IPTC keywords to individual photos or in bulk. Tags are written back to the image files so they work with other tools.

Export: Select multiple photos and export them in bulk with configurable resize options. Download originals or generate web-optimized versions.

Basket: Collect photos into a selection basket for batch operations like tagging, exporting, or downloading.

Configuration

• Photo directory: Mount your photo library to /pictures — Damselfly will recursively scan and index all images
• Config storage: Application settings and the SQLite database are stored in /config
• Thumbnail cache: Thumbnails are generated on first access and cached for fast browsing
