I’ve been researching open source image/video hosting software because I sure as hell don’t want to use Google Photos. I’m leaning toward PhotoPrism, but I thought I’d get your opinions first.

    As someone else already mentioned, it depends a whole lot about what you want to with it.

    • If you want a cloud, go for a selfhosted nextcloud.
    • if you want a backup solution, go for something like syncthing and use simple gallery, etc.
    • if you solely want to look at them in a browser go for photoprism
    • etc.

      The main thing I want to do is free up space on my phone by having the pictures/videos backed up to a server, but also be viewable at any time.

        Use Nextcloud then, with autoupload enabled on your phone. You can view them online

        If you only want a backup, go for syncthing. You must have a lot of images if you can’t store them all on a phone. Videos can be a problem though.

        Best option I can think of is to save your videos in a different folder than the images and use syncthing. But set the settings such that if you delete it on your phone, it won’t be deleted on your server. Then selfhost jellyfin and you’ll have your own “netflix” with your own videos!

        Thank you for this idea! I’ll implement that myself!
