What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I’m using Nextcloud but I’m thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

      Yep, until PhotoPrism revealed themselves to be the greedy cunts they are.

      I sponsor my favourite tech projects annually, as I believe in supporting independent and responsible open-source development.

      I became a paid Github sponsor for PhotoPrism because they promised features like multi-user were coming, and they indicated that paid sponsors would get access. After what seemed way too long a wait, they finally released the features many of us had been waiting for, only to stick them behind a monthly paid subscription. For self-hosted users. 🤨

      So, I switched to Immich about 6 months ago. I’ve found Alex and the rest of the team to be very active, and quite responsive to support requests, including on Discord. Additionally, the development is fast-paced and new features are coming all the time.

      My money’s going to Immich. PhotoPrism can go get fucked.

        The user feature is available for non paying users too. If you want a gui for managing that is now behind plus. I don’t see exactly how wantng to make a living off of your work makes you a greedy cunt especially when it seems the features trickle down as they should. Am I missing something?

          It’s about expectation setting. You can’t say “paid donators will get X” then say “actually you won’t, give us more money for X”.

            Also, there’s usually no reason as a user to pay monthly for a feature in a self-hosted application.
            The Dev has no monthly costs for that feature. Let me buy the application/feature, and if you need money for a new feature, create a feature that is worth buying again. No need to bully the user into a monthly subscription…

      Nah. The Premium model is kinda bullshit. As a free tier open source user you will always be a second class citizen.

      Also everyone who wants to commit code has to sign away his rights for them.

      tl;dr maintainer gets money from open source contribution over the premium tier, but hinders everyone else to do the same with the AGPL licence.(kinda)

      That’s not a good foundation to start off.
