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.
Sure, if you just want upload / backup it's not worth it. If your currently happy with nextcloud then there is no reason to try immich.
But I highly recommend to sometimes view old photos to keep the memories alive.
I haven't looked into the nextlcoud add-ons, but didn't have a great experience with the ones I tried so far. In general I'm not really happy with nextlcoud even for file sync / share, but I haven't found any replacement, every thing else is much worse.
It does take quite a bit of upkeep, especially if you don't use it frequently. I recently found my instance broke due to a bad addon, and then Authelia also broke because NC decided thier OIDC addon is not supported on the latest v32. I was able to re-enable without issue, but still flagged as unsupported.
Sounds like I'm talking myself into Immich already haha.
