Self-hosting Photo Alternatives

Selfhosted@lemmy.world – 65 points – 1 months ago

Hello everyone!

I'm currently looking to self host some photos to get my girlfriend off of Google Photos. I'm wondering what has been good in your experience.

I never thought about self-hosting the before but a LTT video (I'm sorry) popped up in my feed and I got curious.

I looked into Ente.io and PhotoSync so far but unsure if there are any better options. Also saw that LibrePhotos exist but I haven't looked into it yet.

What are you using? Have you had any issues? Missing features etc.?

I use Photoprism, mainly because it seems stable so far, and it's good enough for my needs

Ditto, though I'm getting more and more resentful by the day at the lack of multi user support. I'm not going to donate to them again.

Yeah, this is why I jumped ship to Immich last year. I was donating to PP, with the understanding that donating users would get access to multi-user features when they happened.

Then they put them behind a paid recurring subscription. For self-hosted users. That move broke all the trust with me.

They fucking what? I need to get off the couch and cancel my support too

Yep - they introduced paid subscription tiers and put multi-user support into those: https://www.photoprism.app/editions#compare

Same here, Been using photoprism past few years also, loving it so far!! Few quirks but constantly being worked on

Same, just use FolderSync to get photos to it. Works like a cham.
