Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

No trolling.

PhotoPrism seems to be a very popular alternative. I've played with it a little but since I'm already battling Apple getting my photos into Google Photos, it'll be a while till I commit to the next platform since I don't want to be merging from 2 large bases at once.
AFAIR it's freemium ~~but I can't find the limitations or pricing so I might remember that wrong~~ and here's features/pricing, doesn't look unreasonable.
Heavy user of PhotoPrism here (75000+) and I LOVE it - can’t recommend it enough. Easy to self-host, decent face recognition, ok video support (with HW transcoding if present). Still under very active development but very full-featured already.
Are there multiple-users yet on the open source edition?
I use it, but haven't upgraded this year yet.
Yes, the latest upgrade has full multi-user support. You still cannot separate pictures by users (i.e. one instance still manages one library, with multiple users have different rights in that library), but that is coming "soon".
Ah, well at this point since it is listed as a feature of their 72€/year tier I think I might go with "never" 😅
I agree it's rather pricey, all-in-all. That said, I feel like I'm supporting a dev & community/project manager to actually make a living of a project that really does matter do me, especially also in its ability to be self-hosted. In my later years, I've become a lot more inclined to support the software I use, especially if I can self-host or it makes the world a better place.
Fair, I feel the same way and I wish I had the money for that. If I paid that price for every FOSS service I use I would be paying around 150€ per month just for software I use periodically or frequently to become independent from corporations lol
Though I would prefer a "pay what you want" to get the features for non-enterprise, but I know that most people would take advantage of that.
AFAIR it even supports offloading some of the facial stuff to Google Coral (if you have one)
I haven't updated this year yet because by April they had none, but do they have multi-user implemented yet?
I see it on the featurelist as the 73€ per year plan, but as far as I knew, it wasn't implemented. I thought they said it would come to the normal version earlier?
I just want to use it will 2 named users for me and my girlfriend lol
Ask the other guy who replied to me, he uses it ;-)
