fx VS PhotoPrism

I found fx(https://github.com/uber-go/fx) to be a super simple yet versatile tool to design my application around.

All the advice in the article is still helpful, but it takes the "how do I make sure X is initialized when Y needs it" part completely out of the equation and reduces it from an N*M problem to an N problem, ie I only have to worry about how to initialize individual pieces, not about how to synchronize initialization between them.

I've used quite a few dependency injection libraries in various languages over the years (and implemented a couple myself) and the simplicity and versatility of fx makes it my favorite so far.

Some of the features: - ✅ Using Vertical Slice Architecture as a high level architecture - ✅ Using Event Driven Architecture on top of RabbitMQ Message Broker with a custom [Event Bus](pkg/messaging/bus/) - ✅ Using Event Sourcing in Audit Based services like [Orders Service](services/orders/) - ✅ Using CQRS Pattern and Mediator Patternon top of Go-MediatR library - ✅ Using Dependency Injection and Inversion of Controlon top of uber-go/fx library - ✅ Using RESTFul api with Echo framework and using swagger with swaggo/swag library - ✅ Using Postgres and EventStoreDB to write databases with fully supports transactions(ACID) - ✅ Using MongoDB and Elastic Search for read databases (NOSQL) - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Distributed Tracing with using Jaeger and Zipkin - ✅ Using OpenTelemetry for collection Metrics with using Prometheus and Grafana - ✅ Using Unit Test for testing small units with mocking dependent classes and using Mockery for mocking dependencies - ✅ Using End2End Test and Integration Test for testing features with all of their real dependeinces using docker containers (cleanup tests) and testcontainers-go library

any take on https://github.com/uber-go/fx?

I’m not sure of much that can do all of that - maybe it’s a use case for https://github.com/uber-go/fx

If I still find myself stuck/waiting, I switch over to studying more about our team's main language Go. Currently looking around at Fx ( https://github.com/uber-go/fx ). Which is interesting, though I doubt we'll actually migrate anything for it, but might make a neat lunch and learn topic.

Hello gophers, I am using https://github.com/uber-go/fx and https://github.com/rs/zerolog for logging.

Also, I like to use Uber FX for my DI stuff. You can check it out here:https://github.com/uber-go/fx

I only have private and work repos... But I use Uber fx. https://github.com/uber-go/fx

Spring Boot is notable for its dependency injection / inversion of control. The closest Go has to this is Uber's Fx which also includes some lifecycle management.

If you have such a complex and deep dependency graph, and you don't want to manually maintain it, you could use some DI library to handle that for you. Something like https://github.com/google/wire for small-medium size stuff, or https://github.com/uber-go/fx for larger scale, more enterprise projects.

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.
