docker-icloudpd VS photoview

I run this as a container in my nas (unraid).

It’s been great for backing up for backing up photos and videos. Haven’t tried any other files though.

I followed this instructions to ssh into my synology nas and install the package and download all my photos https://www.reddit.com/r/synology/comments/10hw71g/comment/j5f8bd8/ If you want to use docker it should be very similar. There is also a docker container on github that a lot of people use https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd

iCloudPD Docker Container: https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd

You could check out https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd to download iCloud Photos to a local disk.

I intend to use iCloudPhotosDownloader to backup approximately 5 family member's photo libraries. If anyone has advice on the best way to do this and incorporate it with my other photo archives, that'd be great!

And packaged as a docker container to run daily, weekly, or monthly backups. https://github.com/boredazfcuk/docker-icloudpd

Most lightweight one I've found so far: https://photoview.github.io/

I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it running.

Take a look at Photoview: https://photoview.github.io/ . I think that it will fit all your needs (or at least, most all of them)

I use Photoview with Nextcloud, because I like its UI more than Nextcloud.

I can suggest 3 options. * Photoview - It is like a gallery with recursive folder structure (folders inside folders) support. You can create shareable links for the folders, with password protection. The UI is great. And your clients will be able to download the complete folder, also individual images at either full resolution or reduced. The issue is you cannot use the UI to add or delete photos, but it can be a great thing for security and stability. * Chevereto - It is more like imgur. You upload all the files using the UI and create albums and their sharable links. I do not think if it supports videos at all. * Nextcloud - Another great option if you want to give your clients a Google Drive or a Dropbox like experience. You can create custom links, like example .com/client-name, which can look more professional. For better videos experience you'll need hardware acceleration.

I have tried A LOT of solutions and I finally stopped after using Nextcloud and Photoview. I synchronise files from my computer to Nextcloud using rclone and view them on Photoview whenever I need. You can sync to you nextcloud using their official app on phone. I use Photoview because I have not found a single self-hosted solution that keeps the folder structure and lets me view them as both, in folder structures as well as in a chronological timeline.

Bl4ckB1s3ct0r gave the right answer - Photoprism and Immich can be considered as open-source alternatives of Google Photos. Another one is Photoview.
