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.

Copying this from Reddit (I still get the daily emails). Since I no longer post there, I figured I would ask here, and include my prediction: Will be more popular, possibly in stable release. Still won't be able to rotate photos natively.

That would be an insane amount of phone storage. I don't think a single available smart phone could sync an entire professional library of photos. Especially considering how large each photo is.

Could use folders per project. Come on.. you're still commenting on this ?

Man, you're the one who came in and said Immich could be used by professional photographers. Don't make dumbshit statements and then get pissy when others explain how you're wrong.

Are you a professional photographer?

No, just an amateur with an old Nikon D3100 and a couple lenses. Though I have a few family members who are professional wedding/family photogs. Usual equipment for them is a mac of some sort with lots of storage and Adobe Creative cloud (or whatever they call it).

I don't understand why this is so difficult to comprehend - Pros don't use gallery-focused applications like Immich or Google Photos as their primary backup solution. This is not a thing that happens. If someone does use that kind of application, then they are the exception and not the rule.
