Hey everyone, I’m hoping to find a self hosted and hopefully FOSS alternative to flickr for photo organization and viewing
The sharing with friends part isn’t important
What we’re looking for is a way to store collections of photos, organized and viewable the same way as Flickr
This person takes a ton of photos all the time but they want a place to store the best/only the highlights/their favourites, organized into albums by destination/location/vacation and most importantly easily viewable to reminisce about the good times
They used to use Flickr for this until it wasn’t free anymore
Immich is more of a personal camera roll app, modeled after Google Photos. You can make albums and share them publicly but it wasn’t meant as a public photo gallery.
It can work if the emphasis is on self-organization but it’s quite limited due to the fact it insists on merging everything into a single photo stream and forces you to use its albums to split it back up again.
There’s no way unfortunately to have multiple photo streams per user (unless you’re willing to juggle multiple user accounts).
You are not logged in. However you can subscribe from another Fediverse account, for example Lemmy or Mastodon. To do this, paste the following into the search field of your instance: !selfhosted@lemmy.world
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.
