Selfhosted

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:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. 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.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I have spent a long time at Synology Photos, along with my family. We have tags and albums. Is there a good way to migrate? I'm even open to migrating manually (album by album) if I could trust the process.

This is not a question of software (that answer will be yes, because you can then easily switch away from synology once it's becoming bad) but instead a question of ability fo install it on your currently available hardware.
If you are able to utilize docker containers to the satisfaction of immichs guide? You should.

The machine-learning face detection and picture search is amazing.
I have searched for "Shelf with black boxes" in german (the default context model is only english but they have multi language models) and it found the picture of the shelf with my black tea containers.
Or searching "food" brings up pictures of food and dishes, or "moon" of the moon. Honestly I am still amazed :)
(I also like the geo-tagged pictures on a map feature)
