Hey everyone, I’m hoping to find a self hosted and hopefully FOSS alternative to flickr for photo organization and viewing
The sharing with friends part isn’t important
What we’re looking for is a way to store collections of photos, organized and viewable the same way as Flickr
This person takes a ton of photos all the time but they want a place to store the best/only the highlights/their favourites, organized into albums by destination/location/vacation and most importantly easily viewable to reminisce about the good times
They used to use Flickr for this until it wasn’t free anymore
I switched to self hosted Piwigo after Flickr started threatening to delete my photos a while back.
It had an extension that let me import all my photos from Flickr. Not sure if that still works after they changed hands.
It’s very easy to maintain; just click the update button in the Web UI. And it comes with a bunch of extensions.
