PhotoPrism - Personal Photo Management powered by Go and Google TensorFlow

Given PhotoPrism is seemingly now both the most popular and the most actively developed self-hosted photo gallery solution (see https://selfhosted.libhunt.com/categories/1707-photo-and-video-galleries ) I'd really like to have it on Cloudron in order to experiment with using it to replace my Flickr Pro account....

[nebulon]

Yes we will package that app once it reaches a stable release. I've met with the developers in person already so we are on track here

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon great to know, thanks!

When you met with the developers were they able to indicate when they are hoping to release a stable release? Hopefully in the near future!

[nebulon]

They did not have any release date yet and also didn't want to be pressured in that way as far as I can tell. Their focus is on a solid release rather than getting things out quickly. Also it is really only a two people project and they also have to figure out some business model to be able to keep working on it.

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon hopefully they'll do a release once their MVP milestone is reached, which looks tantalisingly close:

I wrote with them just to clarify the possibilities to upload pics from mobile (Android / IOS). Here is the answer:

"Für den Upload mit dem Smartphone können Apps wie PhotoSync oder auch Nextcloud genutzt werden. Wir unterstützen WebDAV als offene Schnittstelle, sind also kompatibel zu vielen anderen Anwendungen."

Seems to be the first #Google #Photos #Alternative I would like to use.

@captain-kirk yeah I'm really looking forward to this being released. Think I'll finally be able to cancel my Flickr subscription

It would be great if this would somehow work with local directories or more inexpensive storage spaces. . I know there has been some talk about different ways of extending cloudron/ nextcloud storage. I tend to lag behind on these forums and with cloudron in general. So I am not sure where things stand with this. But thought I would add this comment.

[jdaviescoates]

@seeker hopefully once it's released and then packaged for Cloudron it'll play nicely with the new Volumes in Cloudron 6.0, see https://docs.cloudron.io/storage/#volumes

[seeker]

@jdaviescoates Thanks for sharing. I knew I had read things about volumes being expanded in cloudron.

I have long wanted a google alternative for photos. I hope that the photoprism is found to alleviate the privacy concerns mentioned prior in this thread. I would still be a little concerned about uploading all of my photos online. But a selection for photoprism to work its magic on. That would be nice.

I would really love a way to extend volumes to a pc at home or at the office.

@seeker said in PhotoPrism - Personal Photo Management powered by Go and Google TensorFlow:

I'm fairly certain those concerns are unfounded. Somewhere on GitHub, in response to a feature request, I think, the authors rejected the idea of deeper integration with Google because they too want a private alternative, hence creating what they have.

@jdaviescoates is there a bounty up for this one? I would be interested in packaging it after I'm done with my current effort if there's a bounty

[jdaviescoates]

@doodlemania2 I think perhaps you're confusing me with @marcusquinn who has sponsored various packages

I'm barely breaking even and so have not sponsored any!

But I also think @nebulon will perhaps be up for packaging this once it's actually release - he's previously met with the developers because I think they all live in Berlin.

So, um, great! But, it hasn't been released yet, I'm not sure there is any bounty, and I think perhaps no bounty will be necessary.

[doodlemania2]

@jdaviescoates ah - no worries - i'm interested in it too, just didn't know if there was a bounty out there, I know there's lots of those flying around

[nebulon]

Right, we have to wait for a first upstream release in order to get going with the packaging.

[doodlemania2]

@nebulon tell em to hurry! hehe

[jdaviescoates]

@doodlemania2 I just noticed they hit their MVP milestone 2 days ago https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/milestone/1

And they've got some docs here too:

Theresa from the PhotoPrism team contacted me yesterday about next steps to get a package out. Lets see how far we can get this week.

[lucidfox]

Any updates on this... would love to have this on Cloudron. Don't mean to nudge, just curious how it's going with packaging.

[nebulon]

While we are in contact with the upstream devs, I have not managed to build a working package yet, since installation of tensorflow appears to be very particular.
