What is Reddit's opinion of PhotoPrism?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Koristim već duže vreme Photoprism kao self-hosted galeriju fotografija, dođe mu nešto kao lokalni google photos jer prepoznaje objekte i automatski kategoriše po svim mogućim parametrima od tog prepoznavanja do EXIF-a do GPS-a ako ih ima.

E sad su konačno posle dugog čekanja uveli i prepoznavanje lica tako da može i po tome da se kategoriše. Sva analiza se radi lokalno naravno, ništa ne ide na oblak tj. na tuđe kompjutere, niti te neki tamo gugl, fejsbuk ili ko već prati i pravi profil o tebi po tvojim fotografijama.

velika preporuka

If you are a little tech savvy there are very cool self-hosted options such as photoprism which allows for sharing albums. It has ai tagging and facial recognition but it is all done locally on your own hardware so you don’t have to worry about some company having ur data. https://photoprism.app

Here is a demo of it up and running: https://demo.photoprism.org/browse

I've been trying out a few different options in an attempt to move away from Google Photos. So far I've come to like PhotoPrism the best. In a recent update it even does face recognition now.

Agree on that, not happy either. I was recently made aware of https://photoprism.app/, which looks too good to be true. Not tried it yet - haven't had the time yet - so no clue if it does what it claims.

For Nextcloud: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator may solve the randomly missing photos. In detail: App and WebUI show downscaled versions of the photos to save bandwidth, even in full-screen-gallery. By default, these are generated on demand to save on storage. That may take some time, and depending on your webserver settings the download may timeout. This plugin generates them on upload, so they are always ready.

All sorts of photo metadata and camera info!

You should check out photoprism. You can create an instance through docker or something then crack open it's database (SQlite or otherwise) and read the schema. There's all sorts of stuff to track:

• camera sensor
• camera lense
• camera brand
• gps location (in photo exif data)
• time

This is really great! Please consider putting your considerable talents towards contributing to an existing OSS project. I vote for PhotoPrism. It handles thousands of photos, does tagging, has a pretty good interface. But it's got plenty more work to do and I'm sure they'd appreciate the contributions.

That's what open source is there for!

I would recommend PhotoPrism

It uses Google Tensorflow AI, although I had to turn it off because it didn't recognize most of the pictures and the cost of RAM usage was too high for the benefits. Also, you can't delete images in the current version (it will become available in later updates), but so far, so good. You can use PhotoSync to backup your photos from your phone.

I started using PhotoPrism for this reason a couple months ago, and so far it's been working well.

I've since encountered LibrePhotos, however, which appears to be even closer to Google Photos. I'm excited to try it, but unfortunately there doesn't appear to be an ARM version yet so I can't run it on my RPi home server.

PhotoStructure is the other big one that looks pretty good.

Have you seen Photoprism? It does some of the things you're saying. Organization is in a dated hierarchy, then you search from there. As far as editing, I guess you could try mounting the WebDAV and importing that to your library. Could probably also network mount the /originals/ directory from the NAS and then simply import the sidecar files generated. Apparently, multiple users feature is coming soon, until then the admin account could be used like a shared account.

Why don’t you use photoprism ? Runs in docker, it’s free and photos can be located anywhere you want.

It’s a lot better then Synology photo. Face recognition works perfectly, you can show geolocations on a map, etc.

check out photoprism - https://photoprism.app/

i use it in combination with nextcloud to automatically upload photos to a certain directory and have photoprism to automatically scan for photos and display it in a great looking web interface.

Hi, I've recently switched to self-hosting my backup solution for files and photos.

I would use SyncThing if I want something simple and 100% free, but it isn't enough for my usecase as I want selective sync, so I'm now using Resilio. There's a good guide to setting it up on Ubuntu here. It works amazing for file backups, and I set it to backup my photos too. Currently looking into either PhotoPrism or PhotoStructure for managing the backed up photos.

Personally, I'd advice using Ubuntu Budgie with kinto.sh and/or sorun.me to get a similar workflow as Mac. I never had one, but I got my friend who has one to test it and said it's pretty similar (barring some things like the shortcut for quick record, which needs manual setup). Also, Ubuntu Budgie is easy to setup and customize regardless, even has Flatpak (which allows you get more apps) setup in the Budgie Welcome tour.

I tried it for a time, it's nice enough. I still think that anyone making you believe nextcloud will ever be an acceptable way to store your pictures is not your friend, I fear in the end it will always be disappointing. I suggest you look into Photoprism, I host it alongside Nextcloud and I don't miss Google Photos one bit!

I don't use Photostation.

If you are the only user then you can conenct to it with a VPN.

If others also have to use it then I would setup a sbudomain for it behind a reverse proxy behind a firewall. In firewall rules stated that only the countries that I want have access to it.

Other security would be to add a SSO (single sign-on) in front of your services.

I personally use Nextcloud to store and share files. And Photoprism to share and organize photos.

I feel you man. I created a spreadsheet and said I would keep track of all my business income and expenses in there month by month. It's December. I haven't updated it since... MARCH.

I have a 5TB drive. On it, I have folders where whenever I am about to dump a card to format it, I dump the entire contents there just in case it has something I haven't ingested yet. I have 2021-04-CardBackup, 2021-08-CardBackup, etc. I probably have some files copied once, and some copied 3 times. Storage is kinda cheap, but damn, it makes finding the stuff that's out there hiding in plain sight kinda hard to find.

So, recently someone posted about Photo Prism. https://photoprism.app/ - this is self-hosted, with AI to help organize and tag photos. Give it a look.

I don't have it running yet, but I'm intending to in my *ahem* copious free time.

Hey OP! If you go ahead with this, would you mind sharing your experience with the GitHub project you linked? I'm considered doing something very similar to you, I have been looking into this: https://photoprism.app

Are you interested in self-hosting at all? I installed Photoprism to my desktop last night to check it out. The docker install was something like 1.9GB, so sizable, but so far I think it's neat.

I've been dumping photos and video to it all night to see how it works. It puts the files in a chronological folder structure. From there the WebUI lets you sort by labels, places (if you had geolocation on), etc. They have a demo on the site to have a look.

Pros and cons to it of course, and I'm new so I don't know all the pitfalls yet.

Hvis det var mig (og jeg har gået med samme overvejelser) så ville jeg ikke kode det selv, men kigge på nogle af de mange open source løsninger der allerede findes. En søgning på "alternative to google photos" bringer mange gode bud op. Selv har jeg planer om at lege lidt med https://photoprism.app/ hen over juledagene

We recommend PhotoSync for syncing your mobile phone: https://photoprism.app/partners

It costs a few bucks, but it's the best app we've found. We also use it personally. The iOS version even preserves the favorites flag when you upload to PhotoPrism.

Alternatively, you can use any other WebDAV-compatible app, and of course the regular Web upload.

I don't know about any single program that can do both - sync + gallery. I personally use Syncthing for synchronization of files to NAS and some kind of self hosted web gallery. you can set them up pretty easily using Docker.

• Plex
• PiGallery
• Photoprism

I am storing my photo collection on a Raspberry Pi with an external hard drive. To manage the photos I decided on Photoprism: it shows the photos through the web browser and allows searching by date, location and depicted object among other things.

It's working very well for me but the software is quite new and requires some manual configuration.

backup are easy : just save a copy of the files ( I use restic but you can use whatever you want), the DB of shotwell is worthless as all the data are in the tags.

searchable/viewable online via tags, I guess you could use something like https://photoprism.app

If you're a self-hoster (like me), I went down the rabbit hole on this recently.

I set up docker containers for PhotoPrism and PhotoView. I ended up liking PhotoView a bit better, but they both look nice. Both were resource hogs, too, so caveat emptor.

For now, I'm going to milk the Google Photos thing until it starts to be problematic, hoping for a clear-cut winner to emerge (and hopefully, some kind of import tool).

I ended up abandoning Plex for my Google Photos alternative and stood up an instance of Photo Prism. It's a little rough around the edges and I've only had it for a week and haven't really gotten to dig into it and see what it's limitations are, but so far I've been pleased.

For self hosting, photprism is amazing. You get the little maps and timelines of photos and even some AI analysis without all the privacy problems.

https://photoprism.app

Same here, went from a 1XL to a regular 3, still using that now. https://photoprism.app/ is the one I had heard about. I can't recommend it myself yet because I haven't looked into it, just heard about it.
