Location of files unclear #16

/var/www/photoprism/ seems to contain no photos.

It is essential to know the location of the files for at least two reasons:

Managing backups of your photo library
It is a common good practice to keep software on faster/smaller SSD drives, and data on HDD. Many users might want to move their photo libraries away from SSD.

I suggest to put info about data location on readme.

Agreed. However, a quick search in the code returns this:

Thanks! Apparently data dir is here: /home/yunohost.app/photoprism/photos/

Yes you are right. The /home/yunohost.app is a very standard location for Yunohost apps (see Nextcloud for instance), this is why I haven't put any information on the readme. I'm gonna change that if you feel it's important.
