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.

I'm just trying out Immich and I'm really impressed, seems to be exactly what I'm looking for except for one thing. I am looking for something that is a central library for my family so we can all access the same photos and all upload to the same place.

It looks like users can see other users' libraries but you lose the People functionality and perhaps a few other things.

What's the best solution? I'm thinking of just creating a generic user and giving the details for everyone to use but it seems a shame to lose the user functionality of individual passwords etc.

I think I saw an option in the application to turn logins off. I do believe what you want to do is possible.

There's also partner sharing, which maintains independent logins but also shared photos (I'm not sure how it works).
