PhotoPrism - Personal Photo Management powered by Go and Google TensorFlow

Interesting. It’d be good to have a modern photo app on Cloudron. I wonder, with all that Google technology, how much does it call home.
-
AFAIK, I think it's all done locally (it's just using Google' libraries). Atleast, their demo looks really nice. It categorizes pictures by photos and location.

I'm not a dev but a simple search showed me this apps call at least google maps
-
@JOduMonT I see. No surprise an app built with Google tech leaks, I guess.
It makes me want security profiles of all the apps in regards to homephoning etc…

I don't really understand what you try to say but for me, even I try to stay far from the GAFAM, I just feel it's normal than Google use and promote Google Products such as Golang and Google Maps.

Go and TensorFlow are things that were/are built by Google, but it not a "Google Product" in the way that most think about. They are Open Source projects that Google contributes to. They are as Google as React is a Facebook product and Kafka is a LinkedIn (or Microsoft) one.
Most everything making reference to Google is, in some way, related to Location info. Here is the detailed sheet on Geocoding:

Generally, it appears that they are using OSM for goecoding but are using several tools or algorithms built by Google in the process.

But what about privacy issues like these?
-
@yusf that is referring to the build process. When building you fetch the index of dependencies from somewhere. By default this is a Google server (because Google maintains it). For Node it's a NodeJS server. For Python it's a Python.org server.
In all of these cases (including Go), you can replace it with any private server or proxy you'd like.
But in any rate, it has no impact on the running software.
