My personal approach, especially these days, with Open Source solutions, is not just to go start hosting it ourselves. I wish to have a hosted version, and I start by trial or pay but with the peace-of-mind feeling that I can bring it in-house and host it ourselves. Honestly, I don't trust myself to maintain critical infrastructures. I was looking for something similar, but I'm not ready to start doing it myself. I w…

Brilliant. Now, the final missing piece - custom domains (can be paid option). I need to be able to continue to use my domains by just pointing to your service.

So, I want "https://cdn.daminik.com/dam-2024-91b1f1b/oinam/picture.jpg" to be "https://cdn.oinam.com/dam-2024-91b1f1b/oinam/picture.jpg"

The lack of scroll on the landing page is infuriating. I know it's such a minor complaint (and others have mentioned it) but I had my devtools open inspecting the page before I realized it was meant to be that way.

Also the landing page doesn't tell me what this is, maybe I'm just not in the right field but I have no clue why I'd need this. Reading your description here left me even more confused, so we store images like logos and when we update it here then everything else updates because it's pulling the image from a CDN that Daminik provides? How often does something like that actually work? If a logo changes I'd need to resize/design it for 4-5 different sizes/color schemes minimum. Even just an image changing means I probably need a @2x/@3x size as well, there is never "one image to rule them all".

I assume this isn't something I'd ever have a use for based on what I understand about it so far but it might just not be well explained.

For some reason, the website is in German. I can't change the language.

I have the same issue. Site is in German, when I signup and confirm my email, it does give me a language option and most of the UI changes to English when I change the language... but error messages are still in German :)

I am looking for an Open Source DAM for my game dev assets. (If anyone has any suggestions?) This only supports images, not sound and 3d Models or other assets, right now. It does support tags. The built-in CDN may be helpful for web projects, though!

Good luck on your project, the hosted version seems much more responsive than NextCloud. so it may be a great tool for simpler needs!

Seems like there’s some confusion about what this is. I read it as an open source alternative to something like https://www.imgix.com (a product we used at my last company). Granted there are a lot of those (e.g. imageproxy) but this one seems to have a GUI on top.

Always kind of lame but “open source version is X” does communicate pretty clearly what it’s for. Is there an X?
