Baby Buddy VS immich

Looks great. I was a user of babybuddy[1] and one the pluses was that I could self-host and be in control + had an API. Now that last bit was a bit overkill.

It had one feature that's maybe essential and that I'm missing here, and that is being able to share the app and data with your partner so both are in control of monitoring, maybe I'm overlooking it but I can imagine that's hard to integrate with a PWA that does not use accounts.

One last thing: "no accounts", but filling in the email field is mandatory, i'd skip that.

Nice job!

If you're up for self-hosting, there's BabyBuddy[0]. There's no first-party native app, but it is a decent web app and there's some third-party apps/integrations. And of course, multiple users is a priority. No affiliation, just a user :)

The templates seem to be in /app/babybuddy/core/templates/core (see this page: https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy/tree/master/core )

Something like babybuddy (https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy)?

I'm currently using it as an interface for Baby Buddy, which has a pretty great Home Assistant integration for tracking feedings, diaper changes, etc. for my newborn.

I set up a self hosted baby tracker app: (baby buddy)[https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy] it's our second baby so we have not been tracking any of the baby stats. I literally only use it to track my pumps.

I’m using Baby Buddy, I built some ESPHome devices to trigger on button presses (from what others have posted as modifications). So when we change a diaper we hit the appropriate button (I mounted it above the changing table) and it fires off and logs a diaper change (wet, solid, etc). Then using the Baby Buddy HA integration I have an automation that fires every time the “Last Diaper” time is changed, it then makes an API call to Grocy and deducts one diaper from the stock. I did it this way since we use the Baby Buddy app via the web interface on our phones as well, so this way if you log a diaper from the changing table buttons or from your phone the diaper stock is correctly updated.

https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy best app ever. Free, not selling your data, lots of features, can add multiple babies.

> I don't want to self-host my photos, too much management.

I dunno https://immich.app is pretty painless IME.

Regarding your request for 1, have you looked into Immich [1]? If that's too much, I may recommend bewCloud [2] (I've created it almost 3 years ago, still going well), though it's really just serving the files, so search would have to match the file name.

The answer for the primary library turned out to be Immich, a self-hosted Google Photos alternative, running on a Synology NAS. I chose a two-bay Synology with 6TB of usable storage (two drives configured as a mirror, so a single drive failure doesn't cost me anything) and bumped the RAM to 16GB, which left plenty of headroom for Immich's machine-learning and thumbnail-generation workloads.

A few weeks ago I set myself a challenge: run Immich — a full self-hosted photo management platform — natively on my Android phone, without Docker, without root, and without any cloud dependency.
