Yep. Tailscale uses wireguard under the hood so that setup sounds exactly the same.
The Cloudflare tunnel is free. They don't seem to have a traffic cap either. They'll charge you if you want to use a non apex domain (e.g. subdomain) or if you need their more advanced bot detection/defense products. But a basic/standard setup like what us self hosters have is free.
Yes, and yes.
Their Android app feels like an exact clone of the Google Photos Android app.
To access it remotely, you can use Tailscale like someone else mentioned. But you need to have Tailscale installed on everyone's phones.
You can also use a Cloudflare Tunnel to allow it to be accessed over the Internet without exposing anything from your home network directly to the Internet.
The latter is useful when I want to share a secret link to a photo album after hanging out with people so everybody can upload the photos they took to one place (something I used to do a lot with Google Photos)
Does everything Google photos does. Their app looks/feels exactly Google's app, including sharing links. Assuming you're running it on reasonably powerful hardware, it does all the same face recognition and ML based search that Google photos does.
Not to derail your point, but growing up in Australia, we would mostly use kW. Like, it's a 200kw engine instead of saying a 270hp engine.
I think it's a jab at Postman, which is essentially curl with a GUI.
That's going to become more and more difficult to do over time.
Cars are being designed to be difficult to repair and to fall apart in less and less time.
TBH, I've never used any of those features. I just used it locally and plugged it into home assistant.
But I just reinstalled their app and can confirm I can watch the feed and get push notifications without a cloud account. Haven't tried email tho
Obligatory
Oh wow their front page doesn't mention at all that their products run locally and don't require subscriptions.
Aww man that was such a good show! I still miss it sometimes...
Might I suggest Bitwarden.
It's open source, syncs across every platform I know of, and supports passkeys.
