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.

One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.
Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.
Immich sounds great.
Does it have E2EE? I rent a VPS and would prefer personal files that I have on it to be protected.
https://ente.io/ has e2ee. Tehg recently opened up their software so self hosting.
I font have enough exp with both Immich and Ente to make a statement as to whether they have all of the same features or not.
It is fundamentally built around the files being decrypted in RAM, for all the search features. You can use an encrypted partition for storing the photos and DB, to avoid having plaintext files on disk.
