Needed environment variables about photoprism-freebsd-port

[huo-ju]

After install the port, you should see the following message about environmental variables.

photoprism-freebsd-port/files/pkg-message.in

Line 6 in bc17ab3

photoprism_assetspath="%%PHOTOPRISM_DATA_DIR%%/assets"

Hi.

Those two variables in /etc/rc.conf are used to launch the photoprism server properly at startup.

photoprism_assetspath
photoprism_storagepath

But, afterwards, if you just want to run the photoprism command for any purpose (manually index your files, get the configuration, purge, cleanup, backup, etc...), an error is given, since those folders are not found.

For example:

photoprism config
....
ERRO[2021-05-24T04:54:17Z] config: failed creating /.photoprism/storage/serial:                open /.photoprism/storage/serial: no such file or directory
...

Another example:

root@Emby2:/ # photoprism purge
ERRO[2021-05-24T05:01:14Z] assets path not found, run 'photoprism config' to check configuration options
root@Emby2:/ # photoprism cleanup
ERRO[2021-05-24T05:02:37Z] assets path not found, run 'photoprism config' to check configuration options

But, if they are given as parameters to photoprism command every time, it works fine:

photoprism --assets-path=/var/db/photoprism/assets --storage-path=/var/db/photoprism/storage --originals-path=/var/db/photoprism/storage/originals --import-path=/var/db/photoprism/storage/import config

Another option is to set those environment variables and no extra parameters must be given to photoprism command to work properly:

setenv PHOTOPRISM_ASSETS_PATH "/var/db/photoprism/assets"
setenv PHOTOPRISM_STORAGE_PATH "/var/db/photoprism/storage"
setenv PHOTOPRISM_ORIGINALS_PATH "/var/db/photoprism/storage/originals"

Thanks.
