#12Bonus question: I, like a lot of other people, did a full Flickr export due to the reduction in hosted pictures. I now have all the metadata - is there a way I could import or use this locally?
(I did take a brief look at it, it's fairly normal json)

#13Check out Koken. Pair it with Lightroom for editing if desired. Self hosted and quite powerful.

Unfortunately not under an open source license, and the license can be revoked or changed "at any time, for any reason, without notice."
(EDIT: clarified that the issue is the license; the source is readable)

#15I was excited about MediaGoblin[0] for a while, but it seems development has mostly stalled. The last release was in March 2016(!). Things were going smoothly until they seemingly started devoting their resources to implementing federated sharing instead of developing the core media hosting functionality.

#16I should explain what I've tried. Nextcloud photos is not a photo application. It's basically a shared gallery with thumbnails. There's no metadata support or editing. No true multiuser access other than granting sharing through Nextcloud like Dropbox. The only good part is you can autoupload from your phone. I've looked at several webapps, like Piwigo. Most of them feel like a single user application or have limited…

Piwigo definitely supports having multiple users. What kind of metadata do you mean? It supports tagging and reads and displays EXIF data. It has extensions/plugins for adding capabilities.

#17Shameless plug: I'm currently working on a solution called Photonix, though it's still very much pre-1.0 at the moment.
Installation is fairly simple with Docker, frontend is web-based (React), backend is Python with a sprinkling of Tensorflow. So far auto-tagging of photos by location, object detection and colour is fairly decent. UI is progressing and is useable on most devices, though quite minimal.
Please feel free to check out the demo site and the GitHub issues. I'd really appreciate feedback and help. Thanks.

#18Not specifically for photos, but I have been a user of Perkeep, a long running project from one of the golang maintainers that focuses on long term storage of one's data:

#19I'd love to find one that incorporates the functionality that Picasa (windows desktop) circa 2000 i.e. face recognition/matching. It was way ahead of it's time, and actually worked! Best of all, it did everything locally... not cloud based and thus retained privacy of your personal photo collection.
Google Photos does some really handy stuff with facial recognition, which was super helpful when searching & collating photos.
Doesn't help much for privacy, however.

#20Many years ago I was dumping all my photos into Coppermine [1]
It was/is very good. But patching it and PHP became a chore and I eventually migrated away to a messy matrix of Dropbox, Flickr, Google Photos and Apple Photo...
I should look into consolidating them all. Always tempted to write my own, aimed at photo albums for non-photographers... but it will probably not move beyond a readme.md...
