Hey, I’m wondering what everyone’s solution is for self hosted “cloud” storage of photos? I’ve been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it’s missing some features I’d like to have. While we’ve set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven’t found an easy way to share read-only access to the pictures or specific albums. There is an admin login, but no way (that I’ve found) to create multiple users with different permissions.

So SelfHosted lemmy, what’s your solve for photo storage, sorting, and sharing?

    Pretty simple here, directory with my phpto’s, which I renamed to show the subject, date and an id for that day. Simple script to show the images when on a website, manual viewing from disk when archived.

    I pull them off the phone via a cable and adb pull command. All photo’s are read only for my wife. (And by default for all when on the website)

    No need to use software when you can write some small scripts, devise an ordering system and run Linux. ;)
