Hey, I'm wondering what everyone's solution is for self hosted "cloud" storage of photos? I've been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it's missing some features I'd like to have. While we've set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven't found an easy way to share read-only access to the pictures or specific albums. There is an admin login, but no way (that I've found) to create multiple users with different permissions.

So SelfHosted lemmy, what's your solve for photo storage, sorting, and sharing?

Photoprism is one user only, maybe some day they wil implement multi user. You can donate to give them an incentive to work more on it. For me it is good enough.

They do support multiple users, but they gated the feature behind a subscription.

Ah, thanks for the heads up. Last time I looked the said they might implement it in the future.

You can add a line to the docker compose to unlock it, let me see if I can find it

You used to be able to PHOTOPRISM_SPONSOR: "true" but they plugged that hole. They poor-mouth on reddit and GitHub. People that self-host are trying to get away from subscriptions, you think they'd see that
