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.

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.
Piwigo loocks great. How does it compare to Immich?
Piwigo supports multiple users with different access rights, while Immich does not. Immich supports videos and Live Photos while Piwigo does not. Piwigo is a php application and can be installed by ftp on a basic web server and database (same requirements as Wordpress), while Immich requires a docker container. Both Piwigo and Immich have phone apps, but they differ in functionality. Piwigo is set up to upload individual photos while Immich is set up to backup ALL of your photos.
Immich does have a pretty robust user management... https://immich.app/docs/administration/user-management/
Yes but in Immich each user has their own independent album/gallery, whereas Piwigo is a single gallery with different access rights to users.
Immich can’t do what OP wants. It works great for individual personal libraries, but not images that are pre-sorted into specific folder structures and need to be displayed based on that structure.
