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.

Like many of us, I am trying to break free of depending on Google so much. I’ve made some progress in many areas thanks to this awesome community.

I take a lot of photos with my phone but I don’t know the best way to sync those photos into my TrueNas/Immich setup. I am aware of Takeout which I have used to seed it. I am also aware of gphotos-sync [https://pypi.org/project/gphotos-sync/] but Google has crippled their API and don't allow for Original quality photos with EXIF data.

What are you guys/gals doing to periodically sync their photos into your homelab?

I have a Nextcloud server that I setup (before Immich was a thing. I'm also running it now, but not using it for photo backup). I have accounts for my immediate family and all of our phones are setup to use the Instant Upload feature to back up photos.
