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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Well, Google Photos shouldn't be considered a "backup" solution to begin with. Never mind that both Google and Apple scan the content in their respective services, but there's just no guarantee that they don't modify the data on cloud. "Oooh guys, we just invented a revolutionary new photo compression algorithm! Also hosting data is kinda expensive! So pay up if you want your originals." ...and there's occasional reports that these services just straight up corrupted some old files while no one was looking at them. Good going.
I just treat my Android phone like any other camera I own and use. Copy the files from phone to PC and from there to my NAS, and I use ACDSee's DAM functionality.
ACDSee's DAM functionality?
Edit: Digital Assets Management. It also says that it does facial recognition. Does it contact some online service "in the cloud" or is it all offline?
