Photo Backup And Sharing

I did a short search and found an article on www.opensource.com about alternatives to Google.
Google isn't a photo tool, it's just really file storage. NextCloud is definitely the closer alternative to Google, but Google is an awful tool for a photographer.

You can also check out Photoprism, haven't actually used it but seems interesting.
Community Version docs - https://docs.photoprism.org/
Github repo - https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/That one looks really promising. I wonder if there is a tool for ingesting Flickr data. I've got like 40,000 images to port over.

'm aware of 2 open source products...Lychee and Piwigo.
I'm still on Flickr, but have been mulling about the idea of using something like these.
I knew it was Flickr or photobucket,.. just couldn’t remember.

I can see that.
I wouldn’t use google,.. I’d rather burn my NAS.

I'm not familiar with their specific license, the GNU Affero General Public License. It is a GNU GPL v3-ish license, so not really worried about it. But not one I have specifically looked into before.

@scottalanmiller let me know if you spin this up. I desperately need do get some stuff organized.
Of particular interest is this.
I wonder if they make it easy to remove the duplicates.

Right now my stuff is a mess.
And that is not including all of the iPhone pictures in iCloud since like 2015.

Not worried about the license, Affero is good. It's more how do I take all my existing meta data and port it over.

More pics than I thought...
-
80,000 pictures.
And getting close to hitting up to 100,000 views per day!

@scottalanmiller Do flickr pro store the original file as well or just the resampled jpeg?
Similar to how youtube always re-encodes the video you upload? -

Similar to how youtube always re-encodes the video you upload?I have no idea, but I'd imagine they reprocess each pic for their own ML and AI purposes... whether or not they store or show your original I have no idea... good question though.

I'm assuming you share these photos with people, or the public?

No, 100k daily private views by birds, dolphins... and aliens. No people and certainly not public.

Yup, that's really the primary point of Flickr. It's not a photo storage system, but a photo sharing system.

I'm a big hit, actually, in the dolphin community.

Thought I would provide an update.
I setup and tested Piwigo and it looks like I will need to abandon that product. There are simple things I would expect (like being able to download an entire album without having to select every single photo and downloading them one at a time) that are missing. While there are some plugins to address some of these shortcomings, these are developed and maintained by the community so there's a risk that a particular add-on may no longer work or stop being developed/supported. The interface is also a bit lacking, confusing and unimaginative.
Will move to test something else soon.
