Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

That's an interesting point...

I'd like to share some (holiday) photos with my friends & family, so I can put those onto Pixelfed / Friendica / etc... I don't necesarily want to share all the photos...

And that's using the cloud.

Job Done. The self-hosting + federated cloud future is here!

Rejoice.

The photo sharing complaint I don't understand, unless immich doesn't have the option to provide public or password protected share and upload links, which would be a real shortcoming for such app.

I've not looked into it properly yet, but - considering this is still free software - I don't believe that level of granularity exists.

So, if I wanted to share my holiday photos from last week with 1 friend, and the photos from someone's party to different friends... nope.

Immich indeed has that option, I use it frequently. Password protection and upload option

I self host seafile server and use seafile app to sync taken photos on my iPhone to the server. Then you could (haven’t yet) setup a photo hosting service
