I want a self hosted photo backup service for family that doesn't need 4gb ram.
I do not need heavy transcoding or stuff. Just a place for people to dump their photos on.
I have looked at some alternatives but they are all resource hungry from respective docs.
If pixelfed can run on php and limited resources , why not some google photos alternative?
Is there something lightweight that let's multiple people to share their photos together.
I have attempted to use pixelfed but that's stupid as it only let's 4 photos per post. Urrgh.

- izacus 3y agoGrab a Synology NAS and run their Synology Photos software? It has almost all the features of Google Photos, self hosted and very little maintenance.
- eklavya 3y agoWhat exactly would you want? Would you be willing to pay for it? How much?
- 2Gkashmiri 3y agoSet up a software on a vps that uses s3 backend. People would upload, backup, share their photos and media. Its not in a single place so I can't use local sync and stuff.
- eklavya 3y agoOk, the reason I asked is that I have been searching for a photos solution myself. I am not sure if it's a god idea to pursue and if there is actually a market for it. If there is, maybe not a bad idea to explore a bit.
- bo0tzz 3y agoImmich is resource-hungry on the initial import, but should run on very little after that, especially if you make some tweaks like disabling ML and transcoding. (disclosure, I'm one of the Immich maintainers)
- 2Gkashmiri 3y agoUh... Will it be fine on a 1 GB ram 1 vcpu for basic stuff? I won't do a fat import, but one by one and staggered.
