AndreasI'm looking for self-hosted alternatives for my Google Photos backups. I have some old photos on an external drive and I'd like to make them searchable, ideally within an android app. But I'd like to keep them within my local network. I could either simply share a folder via samba, e.g. Solid Explorer handles the network folders quite well, but I'm sure there must be better solutions. Recently, I found <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/immich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immich</a>, which looks very promising. <a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/photoprism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photoprism</a> seems interesting.

Kuketz-Blog 🛡🖼️ Private Fotos gehören nicht in die Hände von Google, Apple & Co. Wer Kontrolle über seine Bilder behalten will, sollte auf quelloffene und datenschutzfreundliche Alternativen setzen.

Tommi 🤯 @ WHY 📞9848I am running <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/PhotoPrism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PhotoPrism</a> on a Raspberry Pi 5 with 8GB of RAM, using a 1TB SSD as the main and only drive, using the <a href="https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/nvme-base" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pimoroni NVMe Base</a>.So far, I could not properly measure the performance, because I don’t know how to do it, but I am satisfied! Yet, this is definitely not a future-proof solution, since I need way more storage: I still haven’t imported most of my pictures there, and I need to prepare for plenty more to come.The simplest (yet quite pricey, 261£) option would be to get a <a href="https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/nvme-base-duo-for-raspberry-pi-5" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Pimoroni NVMe Duo</a> and maximize it with a total of 4TB NVMe SSDs.I think this is not optimal, though, and probably I could be spending all that money much better… Do you have any advice?The thing about hosting a personal media gallery is that it requires a lot of resources when indexing the pictures (so only when you add new ones), then it’s super light—correct me if I am wrong, <a href="https://floss.social/@photoprism" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@photoprism</a>. Hence, I’m thinking the best would be an extensible solution where I can add many HDDs and SSDs, without being forced to pump up the other specs too. I would probably be using just one NVMe SSD for the software and the database, and then save everything else in high-performance HDDs, since they are getting cheap and I can get much more storage with less money—of course I am performing a daily backup off-site, as they are more likely to fail, too.If I am 100% sure that whatever I end up choosing will be solid for many years to come, I am willing to consider spending a bit more on it.<a href="https://pan.rent/tags/homeLab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeLab</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/storage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#storage</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/Immich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Immich</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/mediaStorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#mediaStorage</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/HDD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HDD</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/SSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SSD</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/NVMe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NVMe</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/RaspberryPi5" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi5</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/server" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#server</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/homeServer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#homeServer</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/selfHosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfHosting</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/hosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#hosting</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/help" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#help</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/tips" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tips</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/advice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#advice</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/backup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#backup</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/photo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photo</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/photoStorage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#photoStorage</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/pictures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#pictures</a> <a href="https://pan.rent/tags/selfHost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selfHost</a>
