Replacing does make it sound weird though: "Germany's world bank robbers suffer multiple gun wounds after being hit by bullet"

Let me know if you encounter any issues! ☺️

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand exactly. By default it uses each subfolder as an album / collection that you can pick on the home page. You can also configure custom collections/albums consisting of arbitrary directories. You could also configure e.g. an "all" collection with all the photos combined by listing the root directory(s). Is that what you meant?

Thanks! Do you mean explorer-like folder browsing?

 

Hi! I've posted on photofield here before - my self-hosted photo gallery software. There's been a bunch of changes since last time that you can check out in the CHANGELOG, but this is my first attempt to write about why I made it and how it's different! Any feedback is welcome!

Als schüchterner neuer Deutscher habe ich mich nicht vertraut. Trotzdem jetzt gepostet, Danke! :)

Thanks!

You can run it on a subdomain, e.g. photos.mydomain.com with no special configuration, but it doesn't support subpaths, e.g. mydomain.com/gallery/

No concrete plans for auth yet, but there's an feature request for this. I didn't really want to give a sense of false security with a half-baked solution.

For uploading, I thought about it briefly and it could be interesting. How would you expect it to work?

I imagine you would configure a sort of a target folder structure, then it would dump all uploads based in that structure? Or fully managed like GPhotos/Immich where the app hashes, dedupes and owns the files directly? 🤔

Ah, I see! This is more of a solution for viewing existing photos, it's not a fully fledged multi-user photo management solution.

If you had family members access and share photos via a file share though, you could use this to set up a common gallery that everyone could access via the browser.

It's mostly meant to run on a local NAS though.

Good to know, thanks for the info!

Depends on what you mean by sharing, but if you put all your photos on a local NAS and run this on it for example, then everyone with access to it would be able to see them through a browser.

There's no explicit sharing feature though.

 

Hi all!

I'd like to share some slow, but steady progress I've made on my self-hosted personal photo gallery - a Google Photos alternative. It's been a while since I last posted any updates - the last time was about v0.9.2 on /r/selfhosted, so it's actually my first post here.

What's new?

Lots of things! Here's a quick summary:

Show me the demo

https://demo.photofield.dev/

Now hosted on Hetzner's arm64-based CAX11 - 2 vCPUs & 4 GB of RAM - the cheapest one.

The photos are © by their authors. Since migrating to the CAX11, it only uses one size of internally pregenerated sqlite-based thumbnails, taking up roughly 4% of the disk space of originals. Support for Synology Moments thumbnails is still there, but doesn't seem as crucial as before.

How do I try it out?

It's very low commitment, a single executable or Docker image that you can mount with read-only access to an existing file structure, see Quick Start (also on GitHub if the website is dead).

Another one??? Why?

It's a conspiracy to increase fragmentation and increase shareholder value of big tech companies. 😄 Jokes aside, I think there is some space for a fast, self-contained, extremely easy to deploy solution. But mainly, it's to scratch my developer itch and I get to learn new things.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who's been using it, contributing, and giving feedback! See also foss_photo_libraries for alternatives if this doesn't fit your needs.

Let me know what you think and what you'd like to see next! 🙏
