Ask HN: Self-hosted alternative for Google Photos?
I never gave Google my personal photos for privacy reasons. However, I'm drooling over the ability to organize my photos in better way without spending too much time on it.
Are there any self-hosted alternatives to Google Photos with similar features?
I'm not considering any SAAS here because then I'd have to worry about them respecting privacy and live long enough as my photos :-)
Appreciate any suggestions.
- uptown 8y agoIt doesn't come close to what Google Photos offers, but I like Koken as a self-hosted solution for photos: http://koken.me/ http://koken.me/
- chris__butters 8y agoKoken is more of a solution for building a photography based website. It wouldn't work for photos you'd want to keep private.
- uptown 8y agoThere is a plugin available which provides the ability to secure albums. https://store.koken.me/plugins/password-protect https://store.koken.me/plugins/password-protect
- ishikawa 8y agoIf you consider also photo tagging of people, places and things I don't think there is something similar.

- chris__butters 8y agoI'd look at nextCloud https://nextcloud.com/ https://nextcloud.com/ Open source and can handle most file types.
- localghost0x 8y agoSome home NAS systems have decent photo organization capabilities as well. 1. https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feature/moments https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feature/moments 2. https://www.qnap.com/en-in/how-to/tutorial/article/managing-photos-with-photo-station https://www.qnap.com/en-in/how-to/tutorial/article/managing-...
