A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I'm using Nextcloud but I'm thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

I set up Immich a week or so back. It's been a dream so far. The object recognition is really way better than expected. The App works really well.

I used this script to import my Google Photos dump. https://github.com/simulot/immich-go

I can't say I used every possible feature of Google Photos but I haven't missed anything yet!

Did they ever make it so you could add photos to your library by means other than the Immich UI?

Most of my photos just get copied to a folder on my NAS in Windows. The main reason I went with Photoprism was that Immich didn't support that behavior.

It’s been added recently, in the form of External Libraries.
