szurubooru VS PhotoPrism

I've been accumulating art and pictures downloaded from the internet, what's a good way to store and tag them with the original artist and source? Maybe a simple solution would be just adding appropriate EXIF data to the files? This approach would still require a good folder structure to make sense of. Another option I came across was https://hydrusnetwork.github.io/hydrus/index.html, but after trying it, the experience was really janky and not pleasant. Or I could even host an image booru so the collection would benefit others too, with https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru perhaps?

How do other people deal with it, I'm curious to hear.

also agree with hydrus network. im at 18million items. next best thing is probably something like a selfhosted booru server so that you can remotely organize files during your downtime on the toilet or jury duty.

I'm your savior, together with https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru

There is also https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru/discussions

On unraid postgres is used by szurubooru, mealie, and grafana. I don't know specifically what but I know redis is also used by one of the apps in the cloud group as well.

If you need tagging / users and stuff for the images, I’ve used https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru

Honestly, your project makes me want to contribute to I but I have absolutely no experience with Golang. I see a lot of potential in it and because it's comparatively new and barebones, there aren't any entrenched concepts like with more mature projects. Like, if you ever get around to implementing a more comprehensive organization system, do check out Szurubooru. Tags and tag categories can replace Albums, Faces, Places, Objects, Themes, Colors, EXIF data and so much more. You can still use tooling like AI recognition, geotagging, EXIF readers, and whatnot to populate them accordingly but being standardized as TAGS makes searching and crawling much easier. Not to mention defining custom tags would allow for a very versatile usage. And with a fluid browsing like yours, it will be a dream app.

I can share something like that. There is this imageboard called (Szurubooru)[https://github.com/rr-/szurubooru]. People use such boards to host their anime and hentai stuff.

I kinda have something for Twitter accounts, said thing being this extension, but I stupidly don't use it enough. You see, I archive my posts using szurubooru, which is on a by-post basis, so everything has to be added one by one. (Technically, you can upload multiple at once but there's no function to add tags before upload, only after.)

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.
