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.

Are there any full featured alternatives to PhotoPrism? I'd be happy to support their devs but charging almost $80 a year for basic features like having more than one user is kind of absurd. At that cost I'd rather just pay for the extra dirt cheap storage from Google and keep things there.

That said, I'd really love to continue moving everything I can away from the big G and photos is a sticking point because I have a wife and child and other family members who depend on it.

@gofireworks, @shortcake, and @JeremyT. Thank you all for the suggestion of Immich. This looks like the one. It looks like it's only been around since early last year which would explain why I didn't find it last time I looked for a replacement.

Check out Immich, it’s nearly a full google photos replacement

I use Nextcloud photos. It is far from perfect but it is OK. I hate lack of good Mobile App.

I'm liking nextcloud memories.

I'm still in testing phase. At the moment i am doing the traditional way. Manual sorting (assisted by digicam), synced on various pc via syncthing, then put a simple gallery via pigallery2.

But i like the idea of an automatic gallery where everyone in the family can automatically upload a la google photos. Immich can do that, but looks resource intensive.

Because I already have a nextcloud install, I enabled "nextcloud memories" and looks fine. I copied 5% of my gallery for testing and looks great.

I'm all in on Owncloud for now. But Immich looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for!

I’m curious: what’s the use case for multiple users? Seems like PhotoPrism is a fancy photo gallery. Not sure how multiple users is needed for that.

What are the other basic features that aren’t available for free?

giving access to family, a shared gallery + private ones. It's the bare minimum. You know otherwise mom is calling "ah i lost my phone" - and the last backup was done in 2012 saved on some cheap DVDs with disc rot
