A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.
Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.
Is it better than NC?
If you use Nextcloud, install the App Memories and you will have the same functions as Immich plus all the upload functions of Nextcloud.
But if you are not interested in all the Nextcloud functionalities (including contact and calendar sync, musicserver, filesharing, etc) and just want picture management, Immich is the better choice.
That's exactly what I have, and that's exactly what I wanted ... DARN ... oh well. I guess it's nice to have the document sync as well
Never used NC but this just works.
Yup, purchased myself 2 days ago. Absolutely deserve all of the support!
Buying my copy soon!
Thanks for the reminder, done as well :)
How does it compare to Photoprism? Been on that solution for a while and I really like it, but have seen lots of people suggest Immich as well.
im like maybe one of few people who barely take photos. its great because i dont need to worry about the costs of cloud storage
I mostly set it up for a few major albums like my wedding album. Other than that it's like 90% dog pictures lmao
Immich sounds great.
Does it have E2EE? I rent a VPS and would prefer personal files that I have on it to be protected.
https://ente.io/ has e2ee. Tehg recently opened up their software so self hosting.
I font have enough exp with both Immich and Ente to make a statement as to whether they have all of the same features or not.
