Hard Pass

Hi Selfhosting community.

Was looking for PaperCut alternatives that are self-hostable and preferably open-source. I came across this software: SavaPage. It looks really great, loads of features that ticks many of the boxes I need it for. I want to implement this at our offices. Wondering if anyone here has any experience with this, and if you might be willing to share said experience?

TIA.

They also have a nice .noai policy: https://github.com/jqwik-team/jqwik/blob/981f6b8403cf4c446e0dbe49823fb5da960707eb/.noai

Edit: I've tried out a few, here's what I found:

• PiGallery: Super fast, really easy to get going. Not a huge amount of features but really functional. If you just want a gallery, its a great choice.
• Home-Gallery: Nice looking with a basic detection features. No slideshow, but good filtering options. Definitely tried to make my CPU into a hot plate when processing.
• Immich: WAAAAYYYY more resource friendly than their docs suggest. Trimmed up further using an existing postgres and redis, and offloaded the ml onto my photo editing workstation. Would be even better if I could use the mac I had to buy for some client work since its just sitting there, but maybe one day.

The Result: Yeah I'm using Immich. Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone, would really appreciate some ideas on image + video gallery options.

We have a bunch of personal photos and videos taken over the years, and since we don't want them on cloud providers, right now they are just a bunch of folders on a local share. We do actually enjoy going through them, but browsing a directory isn't the most fun experience.

Something that had a nice photo/video browser, maybe albums, a slideshow option (maybe with shuffling?), and tags would be great. I'd like to not have to duplicate the images into yet-another-storage-location, so something that can just pull from that share would be great. Backups are also already handled, so not a factor here.

I've tried Stash, but thats more oriented toward the adult industry, so it requires a lot of manual intervention.

Ive never tried Immich, but it seems like a lot for this scenario. Maybe I'm wrong though, let me know.

This will never be available anywhere outside of our home (well aside from a WG connection back to our home), so I don't care about sharing links or any of that kind of stuff. Media is mostly jpg with some Canon and Fuji raws, h264 and h265 videos.

Let me hear your recommendations for open source, locally hosted, no cloud personal media enjoyment!
