Has there been any progress on self hosted alternatives to Google Photos in the past couple of years? Last time I checked there was great systems for individuals, but the main reason why I use Google Photos is so I can have shared albums with family & friends where anyone can add their photos.


I started using PhotoPrism a couple months ago. My only gripe with it is that you can't drag-and-drop files directly into folders or any page. You have to manually go to the upload page, change/add the folder then use the file picker to choose the files. Other than that it does the job well and even has face scanning.

A little buggy but easy to run and very feature complete: https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos


Not exactly what you're talking about but IPFS seems cool for storing stuff.
