PhotoPrism VS mealie

I have been using https://www.photoprism.app for a couple of years, and it works better than expected, with the latest updates it's actually quite fast and the face tagging works reasonably well.

For self-hosting, there's Photoprism[1] as well.

Ente's strength lies in end-to-end encryption[2] and its cloud[3] offering so you don't have to worry about reliability.

So if self-hosting is what you're after, Immich, Photoprism and Damselfly (TIL!) are perhaps better designed to serve your needs.

For quite a while I'm also in search for a solution which allows me to share galleries with my family, without having to ask them to jump through hoops in order to access them.

After some searching I'm now testing photoprism [1] which is a fantastic application, especially for self-hosting of photos. There's no mobile app for it (yet) and user-management is just starting to get implemented, but it shows alot of promise. Unfortunately not yet enough for putting it on the tablet of my granny but one can hope (and donate!)

Either way, I'm afraid that building a good mobile gallery app is an equally large task, after all the best solution would be to replace the users' native gallery-app with an equivalent that also supports custom Online-Galleries...

out of curiosity, why no sort-of-established pkg and internal dirs? What do you think of https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism structure?

Thank you!

Ente was first a piece of hardware, then a self-host-able project, but we had a hard time monetizing both, which lead to the E2EE pivot.

TIL about TagSpaces, thanks!

Our server can be open-sourced, but we're unsure of the value E2EE will provide, with services like Photoprism[1] and Immich[2] already doing a good job of serving customers who prefer to self host. In this context E2EE might become a constraint, rather than a feature.

Ive seen github issues like this one https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/907 in which it is implied that this is very very difficult.

Hi. I want to implement an image server similar to Photoprism using ImageAI to tag images based on objects and context. However I don't want to spend to much time working on the frontend, at first I were thinking about using Danbooru and use Flexbooru or the web interface on my phone. But it doesn't have any encryption or password protection (since the purpose of it is to be used as a public image board).

https://www.photoprism.app in Docker.

PhotoPrism[0] and some ugly plumbing[1] to semantically tag all images in the gallery.

Mealie can be found at https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie and Mealie Client at https://github.com/kirmanak/Mealient

If one of them cooks, spin up a mealie instance for them. I made my mom her own after she saw some recipes on mine. And she uses it all the time. Mealie Github

When you get stuck like this, always look at the docker-compose.yml file if provided. You can find this one here: https://github.com/mealie-recipes/mealie/blob/mealie-next/docker/docker-compose.yml

I tried the official docker compose from the Github page (https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/blob/mealie-next/docker/docker-compose.yml), I git cloned the whole mealie folder (https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie.git) and got a whole host of issues or what seems like lots of issues. The only changes I made were to change the username and password under the postgres config. When I docker compose up the file I get the error message below (all the way at the end of this post). With the git clone I should have all of the dependencies and I am just not sure what these errors are telling me.

So far I am hosting my own photo backup and sharing (think Google Photos replacement, except the data just goes straight from my phone to a server that I have in my closet), a media server for streaming my own videos, and an awesome cloud recipe book to share with family (https://nightly.mealie.io/).

Personally I run mealie as a digital recipe book - https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie

For some time I've been making use of an open source recipe management tool called Mealie. You can find the code at https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie

The in my opinion best way is to contribute to software you already use. In my case that's self-hosted stuff like Mealie or Owncast.

Not possible for the moment but an issue is open https://github.com/hay-kot/mealie/issues/2161
