It’s nice here, but a bit under-federated. Other @Deebsters are available.

  • You can add a title and description to images, folders, albums (what we’ve been calling folders), sub-albums, etc. You can search on those, but it’s not a structured thing like tags. I guess you could just store some JSON in there but you might need to get smart with your queries to search. Afraid I have no idea if there’s plugins, or even if what I’ve been using is a recent and/or unmodified codebase.

    I think it’s more designed for photo uploads, as there’s an option to keep exif data, and it automatically makes images of different sizes (including your original, maybe massive upload).


  • What features are you looking for? As others have said, if you just want somewhere you can store images yourself, you don’t even need software aside from a webserver and something to upload with.

    But there’s also things like user accounts, tagging, browsing/discovery, plus whatever else gfycay does/did.

    Anyway, just to actually give you a suggestion, chevereto is used by a friend and it’s a lovely user experience (can’t tell you about the admin side, though). [edit: This uses folders to organise - no tagging - so it might not meet your needs, which is why I was asking]




  • Bitwarden is open source (server, plugin and app) and can be self-hosted so it’s not centralised in any way that matters.

    Also, I think an honest freemium offering is the best way to do it - have those that are willing/able to pay subsidise those who aren’t. It doesn’t have to be a slippery slope, and that’s not exactly common in the open-source world. After all, you can just fork it and go your own way if you’re not happy. Also, running servers isn’t free, and being able to remunerate the devs a little is no small thing.

    So, in summary, use Bitwarden. You can set up your own server and install the plugin/app yourself if you want.
