Thanks!

You can run it on a subdomain, e.g. photos.mydomain.com with no special configuration, but it doesn't support subpaths, e.g. mydomain.com/gallery/

No concrete plans for auth yet, but there's an feature request for this. I didn't really want to give a sense of false security with a half-baked solution.

For uploading, I thought about it briefly and it could be interesting. How would you expect it to work?

I imagine you would configure a sort of a target folder structure, then it would dump all uploads based in that structure? Or fully managed like GPhotos/Immich where the app hashes, dedupes and owns the files directly? πŸ€”

Good to know, thanks for the info!

Thanks!

Unfortunately I have no idea about the Unraid ecosystem, so I'm not sure what's the best way to approach that. It seems like you can run Docker images, so that's probably one way to go? Let me know if you get it to work!

Haha, I hear you! Some things are a lot harder than they have any right to be.

Sorry if these are stupid questions.

Not at all! Thanks for taking an interest.

Does this only show these foss_photo_libraries and your local photos?

I'm not sure what you mean. foss_photo_libraries is a comparison table of different apps someone else maintains, but I thought it was a useful resource. The photos in the demo are a subset of the open images dataset and a couple of other samples that I picked for demo purposes.

If you install it locally you can point it to a folder and it should use each subfolder as an album, or you can configure custom albums.

Does it support jpegXL?

Yes actually, but I don't have many files to test it, so I'm not sure how well it works. If you do I'd be interested to hear how it works for you. It uses FFmpeg to on-the-fly convert anything it can't read natively.

I’d love a seamless zoom feature for images in the browser. I use imagus but I’d love if the popup window could zoom to be bigger than the browser window.

You can zoom by using the mouse wheel or by pinching to zoom if that's what you mean? You should be able to zoom pretty much as much as you want. If you're in the main view where the mouse wheel scrolls photos up and down you can hold Ctrl (Cmd?) to zoom instead.

I'd say Immich has quite a few more features, with the primary focus of backing up your media from your mobile devices with a more "managed" approach (it takes care of storing and organizing the files).

Photofield is more minimalistic (both in terms of user interface and as an application) and more useful if you have an existing directory structure that you want to view as a gallery. It also pulls a few neat tricks to make it work smoothly with up to ~600k files.

See also the linked comparison for more details. It's mostly accurate, though video is a bit better with this release.

Ha, hiring only account managers πŸ˜… It does have search and maps, but they are a bit rudimentary right now. Also I have to find some sample geolocated photos to put in the demo, it doesn't have any right now.

Ah cool! Maybe the server broke for a sec? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] mlunar@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (3 children)

Hmm, it seems to work for me. Which Android/Firefox version do you have?

[–] mlunar@lemmy.world 25 points 9 months ago (3 children)

It's quite impressive how much the Immich folks have achieved in a relatively short period of time! I'm glad you found something that works for you :)

 

Hi all!

I'd like to share some slow, but steady progress I've made on my self-hosted personal photo gallery - a Google Photos alternative. It's been a while since I last posted any updates - the last time was about v0.9.2 on /r/selfhosted, so it's actually my first post here.

What's new?

Lots of things! Here's a quick summary:

Show me the demo

https://demo.photofield.dev/

Now hosted on Hetzner's arm64-based CAX11 - 2 vCPUs & 4 GB of RAM - the cheapest one.

The photos are Β© by their authors. Since migrating to the CAX11, it only uses one size of internally pregenerated sqlite-based thumbnails, taking up roughly 4% of the disk space of originals. Support for Synology Moments thumbnails is still there, but doesn't seem as crucial as before.

How do I try it out?

It's very low commitment, a single executable or Docker image that you can mount with read-only access to an existing file structure, see Quick Start (also on GitHub if the website is dead).

Another one??? Why?

It's a conspiracy to increase fragmentation and increase shareholder value of big tech companies. πŸ˜„ Jokes aside, I think there is some space for a fast, self-contained, extremely easy to deploy solution. But mainly, it's to scratch my developer itch and I get to learn new things.

Thanks

Thanks to everyone who's been using it, contributing, and giving feedback! See also foss_photo_libraries for alternatives if this doesn't fit your needs.

Let me know what you think and what you'd like to see next! πŸ™
