I just installed this using their instructions for self-hosting. Other than having trouble figuring out what the proper endpoint is (partly due to the need to manually setup a whole bunch of DNS entries for things like /albums, /photos which even after a few hours of fiddling, I couldn't get it), I opted to not use this:, I feel you all should know the real reason: the backend is Minio. Minio is terrific for organizing files which are accessed by software. If you are hoping to drop a folder of folder of folders of pics onto this, and then one day decide you want to use something else, all your pics will be "well organized" but in an arcane folder system which Minio uses. It will NOT be browsable-friendly. You will not be able to get your pics out in a timely and simple fashion. At least, this is what it looks like to me.
