Hey, I’m wondering what everyone’s solution is for self hosted “cloud” storage of photos? I’ve been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it’s missing some features I’d like to have. While we’ve set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven’t found an easy way to share read-only access to the pictures or specific albums. There is an admin login, but no way (that I’ve found) to create multiple users with different permissions.
So SelfHosted lemmy, what’s your solve for photo storage, sorting, and sharing?
I have been using immich. It supports user accounts and album sharing. And recent updates on the machine learning part have made it a even more potent replacement of Google Photos imo.
Yes, but the Readme says it requires postgresql14 or 15 external. I don’t see how to set that up. I usually go through the app store that is included in unraid. Usually there are good guides but I don’t see one for this.
If unraid doesn’t support docker compose for some crazy reason, you should be able to bypass the webUI of unraid and just run docker compose files directly via CLI.
There are still some rough areas though. For example its not possible to further share/download photos sent to you in a shared album. And the ios app is a bit janky when swiping through photos. No slideshow mode either.
Overall very usable though and getting updated constantly.

This looks promising. Thanks for sharing!

Really can’t find a good guide on how to host this on unraid. Any tips?
The docker compose file should work fine I’d imagine? IIRC Unraid supports docker.

Their docker compose file has postgres in it: https://immich.app/docs/install/docker-compose

Actually ignore my other comment, they have an unraid guide for docker compose: https://immich.app/docs/install/unraid
Also using Immich, can recommend it.
