Hey everyone, I’m hoping to find a self hosted and hopefully FOSS alternative to flickr for photo organization and viewing
The sharing with friends part isn’t important
What we’re looking for is a way to store collections of photos, organized and viewable the same way as Flickr
This person takes a ton of photos all the time but they want a place to store the best/only the highlights/their favourites, organized into albums by destination/location/vacation and most importantly easily viewable to reminisce about the good times
They used to use Flickr for this until it wasn’t free anymore
Piwigo does have a plugin for video upload and playback, and it looks like Live Photos are WIP or at least available through the website, not the app. There are some other neat plugins too like map/geotag support.
The app’s upload functionality can work well for backups too; it isn’t automatic, but it does support batch/folder uploads and remembering which photos you’ve already uploaded.
I’ve been using Piwigo for the past 4 years. The video plugin kinda half works (breaks during upgrades, doesn’t work on Android). It would be cool if Live Photos end up supported, as that’s my main reason for trying out alternatives. But since Live Photos are part video, which itself doesn’t work, I’m not holding my breath.
