I hope I don't come across as entitled or an asshole, but Docker means I'm not getting near it. Would love to see a bare host installation option for us BSD folks so I can stick it in a jail. Looks real good though! I'll be checking in now and then to see if that happens.
Docker is way too pervasive. It’s a great option, but it shouldn’t be the only option.

I really love the idea of this project but I feel like it is grossly over engineered.
The recommended spec is 4 cores and 6GB. Running this 24/7 for a year in US where the carbon intensity is about 400 gCO₂eq/kWh would produce about 150kg of CO2 per user per year. I appreciate the intent of this project, but it is not a sustainable approach. If you are taking a couple of pictures a day, you only need to run this service for a couple of minutes per day, the rest is wasted. With Google Photos, as a SaaS…
If you are running the machine anyway to do other tasks like backing up and running Jellyfish then it might be worth it. How did you get to 150kg of CO2 per user? I'm going to assume you mean each person has one instance rather than sharing an instance like a family would. So thats 375Kwh per year, which works out as drawing 42W. That seems rather high to me. I'm hoping to try and run this on my Pi4 which idles at un…
For example, I host between 5-10 minecraft servers for my kids, but they sleep while the kids aren't playing on them and only spool up when a link is requested.
A properly configured Linux box would barely need a trickle of energy when nothing is demanding its resources, so I'd guess that the estimates are likely a bit on the high side.
The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos! This is a bad thing for the average Joe.

Turning a service on/off makes a lot of sense for this kind of application. I sincerely didn't post my comment to shame anymore. Need for computing is growing fast and it is actually not negligible at all. See the link below, data centers emitted 300 MTCo2 in 2020, similar to the number you mentioned. https://www.iea.org/reports/data-centres-and-data-transmissi...
> See the link below, data centers emitted 300 MTCo2 in 2020, similar to the number you mentioned. Wow, I didn't realize there were so many datacenters. My comment about corporate action still stands though - there's no reason why companies running those data centers cannot switch to renewable sources for even a portion of their usage. I'm no fanboy but I was impressed to see how Apple's office is 100% powered by sol…

What I've done is to leave a Windows VM running which has both the iCloud Photos app, as well as Syncthing, both pointing at same directory. This then works as an iCloud/syncthing bridge, letting my iPhone sync with my linux machines.
Do you ever get the feeling you're just inventing asinine problems for yourself to waste time solving?

> but I don't need a complete copy of my photo reel to be saved to my device this resonates with me. what solution are you using?
I have the same need... I use Nextcloud for many things (including photo upload) but I can't stand their photos app. I use photoprism for the photos app and I love it.
By the way, how do you share files between Nextcloud and Photoprism? It's my biggest problem with NC, it's hard to share files with other apps.

>If you are taking a couple of pictures a day, you only need to run this service for a couple of minutes per day, the rest is wasted. You can configure your server to sleep (scheduled or use WoL), which will halve (or more) that carbon emission number. Speaking of which, individual action will never approach the level that corporate action could. Take a look at the practice of gas flaring (2022 estimate of ~357 milli…
I don't understand how or why this defeatist, nihilistic attitude is growing in popularity. Do people just lack the self awareness to realize their inaction is tantamount to malice?
There is a lot of money trying to nerf the world and reduce the population.

People have mentioned SyncThing and Seafile as straight backup options. Another option one could consider is FolderSync[1]. It has a number of cloud back-ends it can interface with, but I use it to periodically SFTP to my home server to backup several areas in my phone, including photos, camera and app backups. Two niceties for me it has: * Two-way sync. I'll often clean up my camera roll on my PC, and that syncs bac…
