File server for photos (self.selfhosted)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by TheBig2023Meltdown to c/selfhosted
 

Hi I want to have a server running on my pc where 4 people can each mass upload photos to their own respective folders.

They are on iPhone and have 700+ photos each. I would like them to upload it all to my server, but I also need this to be an easy process for them to select and upload.

Any suggestions on software?

Edit: thank you guys! Immich looks great, I will set that up

I'd also suggest Immich, but with a warning. On their GitHub page, they state:

Did anyone actually use this over a longer period of time, including updates, etc.? How did it work for you?

I have been using it since v1.1x and that was released around a year ago. In other words, it has been running good enough for me for a year. Features are added and bugs are getting fixed along the way. I have not experienced any major break.

Great! Thank you!

I have it running for a couple of months now, doing just fine. Had to change my compose file a while back due to some change but rock solid so far.

I do run Syncthing too in any case

Thank you very much for the info! Maybe I'll give it a shot again.

Yeah. Immich for the win. But not sure of the performance on iOS.

You can also share photos between users on that instance, and create shared albums where you all contribute you own photos.

Is it possible to have a shared album where I can edit/delete and they can only upload?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

not sure about the shared album.

Albums are just links to photos that have already been uploaded.

I think your best bet would be to give it a go, and try all of your different needs.

I have been running Immich since v1.1 to this day, and it has been flawless

[–] TheBig2023Meltdown 1 points 1 year ago

This looks good, thank you I will use this

It's purely for getting all our photos together in full quality. I will not be using this as cloud storage. And I also have backblaze running on my pc so hopefully that's backed up too

Thank you!

I found the docker stuff stopped working mysteriously and ran docker compose doen, which deleted all of my pictures. I recommend not using it as a backup solution.
