This is not for everyone, but I host my family photos myself, most recently with this: https://piwigo.org/. I have been doing this since 2007 (started on a different software, called "gallery". Was able to migrate from gallery2 to gallery3 and now piwigo), and so far no major issues. Advantage: I can easily share photos with family, no need for iCloud, Facebook, or indeed any service- they just need a web browser... - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
There is also Piwigo which is open-source and can be self hosted. https://piwigo.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
A couple additiona maybe?: - Piwigo great for photo management. Could be used as an alternative to Google Photos - Nexcloud for file sharing. Replacement for Google Drive. Source: about 1 year ago
I use https://piwigo.org/ on a old PC that I installed Linux on. Source: about 1 year ago
I have on my list to evaluate self-hosted image clouds Piwigo and Photoprism but they don't bridge the photogrammetry gap either. It might even be more time consuming if I have to download the assets I'm working on first. Source: about 1 year ago
Keep in mind Matrix is a protocol for messaging just like email is a protocol for mail. There's more than one client and Element just so happens to be the most popular one. A really good runner-up would be FluffyChat. Then there's Cinny. Source: over 1 year ago
That's actually almost a ripoff of FluffyChat with the pull-up server list from Element's Android app. And given Matrix is trying to mimic the semantics of Discord servers with spaces, I don't even like those layouts. Gross. Source: over 1 year ago
There is a package I wanted to use fluffychat (Matrix Client) you can only get it from flathub and snap (officially) there is an aur package for arch (unofficial). This is just an example. There was also some other package that I no-longer use that had a similar case. More will become like this that's for sure. I don't like this future, it sucks. Source: over 1 year ago
@Hamuko I have been on matrix several years, and lately I've been really liking Schildi Chat [https://schildi.chat]. Also, many other users that I know really like Fluffy Chat [https://fluffychat.im/]. In any case, there are several more options nowadays. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
Then I've found FluffyChat, and it seems to working just fine; and has a Linux version too. Source: over 1 year ago
