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?

Have you looked at NextCloud? I have an instance running on an RPi that fits my needs (storage without sharing outside the home firewall). For anything that needs sharing, I just copy those images to an old Dropbox that I've kept and share from there.

Nextcloud on it's own can't read images EXIF data so it can't sort them by date. I've tried Memories addon and it seems to work well, except for transcoding movies.

Good to know, thanks. I generally sort by hand if they need sorting, but using EXIF would be a nice time saver.

Nextcloud works well for general files. Immich is the way to go specifically for photo storing. It's got a whole lot of added features.

I hadn't heard of Immich. I'll take a look. Thanks!
