Does anyone have suggestions for a self hosted photo service with - importantly - a solid iOS companion app to do photo sync and possibly browse photos?
I would prefer using a simple S3 backend. It seems that finding a reliable photo sync'ing app for iOS (outside of Google Photos or Dropbox) is difficult.
I've been manually using Image Capture and uploading to S3 but that's quite inefficient. Thanks!
- kylehotchkiss 7y agoNot S3, but self hosted by NAS and can push encrypted backups to S3 - Synology Moments? https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feature/moments https://www.synology.com/en-us/dsm/feature/moments
- cleee 7y agoI find Nextcloud pretty great. There's a sync client available on f-droid. It also has capabilities for calendar and contact list synchronisation, so you can move that off your google account. It came preinstalled with my instance of mail-in-a-box (https://mailinabox.email/ https://mailinabox.email/), which is an easy way of hosting your own email. With my self-hosted instance of mailinabox and LineageOS my phone is completely google-free. :) Edit: And it has a decent iOS sync client as far as I know.
- nahtnam 7y agoNot self hosted but mega.nz has a really good photo syncing app and all data is encrypted
- gregsadetsky 7y agoThank you, the great iOS app and end-to-end encryption really sealed the deal. Also being able to try it out with the 50Gb included in the free account...! I'll be moving backups there. Maybe I can run a weekly / monthly rclone to sync Mega to S3 to have some redundancy. Thanks!
