Hey, I'm wondering what everyone's solution is for self hosted "cloud" storage of photos? I've been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it's missing some features I'd like to have. While we've set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven't found an easy way to share read-only access to the pictures or specific albums. There is an admin login, but no way (that I've found) to create multiple users with different permissions.

So SelfHosted lemmy, what's your solve for photo storage, sorting, and sharing?

I am migrating from Syno Photos, which had been the greatest solution I had found, now to Immich, which is so polished and sharing is 10x easier than in Syno. The only gripe to Syno Photos is their implementation of Public/Personal space which is confusing and if you want to share something you have to store duplicate photos in those spaces. I used conditional albums to share certain faces with the partner and it has been OK.

Now it's 100% Immich for me:

  • Clean, intuitive interface
  • Easy sharing
  • Very good face detection, better than Google (I compared the same pics I uploaded to both)
  • Easy transition for a Google Photos user
  • FOSS, you're in full control over the deployment
  • Machine learning container to tag pictures
  • CLI interface to mass upload

Both galleries claim motion photos support, but for me neither actually works. Immich claims iPhone's Live Photos, which I don't care for, but Syno Photos say that in version DSM7 support Android Motion Pics, that I could not confirm.

I need to check out immich it sounds like.

I looked at photoprism. DIdnt really excite me but I have about 20k unsorted photos because of the way dsphoto does uploads and I dont have time to sort them.

I dont even really care about folder structure as much as geo data/time date/event style sorting.
