I’ve been looking for an alternative to Google Photos. My question is, because I’ve created a free account. How good is ente.io?
Sorry I can’t help, but just letting you (and anyone else looking) that immich.app is the best alternative.
lmao. You said you can’t help with ente.io so you clearly haven’t testes all services, but yeah sure, recommend something. Very objective. (Nothing against immich itself, I used it myself and liked it.)
omg this is exactly what I’ve been looking for. self hosted photo sharing with collaborative albums!

Same as photo prism , don’t know how to create my own server
Immich is leagues ahead of Photo Prism, but Photo Prism is definitely an alternative.
Setting up a server isn’t difficult if you can follow a YouTube video. Are you looking to host it yourself at home? or through a hosted service?
Either way, you could find a YouTube video that is easy to follow along for setting this up with Docker if you’re at all curious. If not, hopefully someone can answer your original question!
In what way Immich is leagues ahead of PhotoPrism? I’ve been looking for an alternative for quite some time and it’s the first time I hear about it. Edit: Ok the demo seems very nice, but the unstable notice makes me think…
One thing to note about immich is that they use a proprietary file structure so you cannot just throw your existing pictures folder at it and have it non-destructively index them. It’s in their roadmap to change this behavior but for me it’s a deal breaker. I use photoprism and it works great for me.
I believe they added import functionality server-side, so you can throw your existing photos at it easily.
Oh cool, I may have to consider spinning up a container.

I’ve deployed a Photoprism Instance, there is everything open source, even the server. You can also buy them managed via PikaPods https://www.photoprism.app/
I’ve saw it, but truth be told, I don’t know nothing about to deploy my own server…
You can pay for a managed version. See here https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/cloud/pikapods/
I’m not at US, EU or HK…damn, can’t use PikaPods either?
Making your own server can seem daunting at first, and there is a learning curve at the beginning, but if you like tech it’s a great way to learn how computers and networks work.
There’s also Piwigo which can be self-hosted or cloud hosted.
