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?

    Like many people here I’m also planning on moving to Immich. It frankly looks amazing and it has a TrueCharts version, so it should be relatively easy to deploy on TrueNAS Scale. I’m going to wait a little longer though since it’s still in relatively active development and there are quite a lot of breaking changes that I currently don’t feel like dealing with.

      As somebody that already has an NFS share for their photos, is immich able to use my already existing photo location, or is it another one of those that requires an import process that copies them to its own storage?

        There is an experimental feature where you can have a read only share (mount point) and you can run a cli and import it into Immich

        I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. You’ll probably be able to configure it to display your photos, but when it comes to more “advanced” features like creating albums, sharing photos with other users and the like, it’s understandably pretty difficult to find a system that would allow you to configure your own storage system.
