  • librephotos

    A self-hosted open source photo management service. This is the repository of the backend.

    I've been on a similar journey for at least a year. Google photos is *awesome*, but it really leaves a lot to be desired as far as being able to control where/how the data is stored, and being able to reconcile multiple data sources (did I already upload this photo from another source?). The closest self-hosted app I've been able to find is LibrePhotos, but it (like photoprism) requires some significant CPU hardware to host. For my application, I've decided to host LibrePhotos and Nextcloud on the same host, use Nextcloud to upload new photos, then periodically run RapidPhotoDownloader on the nextcloud archive, to move new photos into my LibrePhotos archive in an orderly way. Currently I'm using two cloud VPSs to do this, but am pondering building a physical machine to self-host it on my home network.
