The next release (alpha build will drop in a week or two) will include keyword, album, and person tag imports from Google Takeouts, Lightroom, Picasa, and digiKam. See: https://photostructure.com/about/2020-release-notes/#vnext Local face recognition, if it doesn't make it into this release, will be in the following release: most of the detection, aggregation, and backend storage is already implemented in my feature…

Thanks for pointing these out! What I'm looking for is Lightroom-album style tagging (keyword and star-rating) that I can apply to photos manually - I dont' have my archive tagged in anywhere, and I need to do that somewhere I'm thinking about biting the bullet and import everything in Lightroom just to get tagging :(

https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator This builds the thumbnails in the background. I think it used to get triggered on upload but says it needs a cronjob now. Works OK on a folder of 40GB of photos. What I still find irritating about photos in nextcloud is I keep mine in high resolution but nextcloud won't downscale them to fit the viewing device screen, so I use 20mb a photo with all the UX impairment on…

Gotcha. Thanks for the explanation! I think that's a terrible idea, disregarding the origins and removing an element of credit and attribution to the original authors. Be proud of where you came from, don't try to hide it.

The problem is that the original is defunct but "fork" on GitHub assumes that the fork is going to merge changes upstream. Credit goes in the credits file, not polluting every interaction with the project.

There are two projects I would mention in the same spirit: - https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism - https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed While I think photoprism has a very similar scope, pixelfed has stronger emphasis on federation. The project website gives a nice overview over different providers: https://pixelfed.org/

I've been using the Beta version of Photostructure[0] for a while and am generally very happy with it. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, no ML etc, but it's also much lighter. Running on my Synology NAS inside a docker container just fine (with ~30k photos). I also heard about Mylio[1] which looks nice, but haven't tried it. Somehow the privacy policy left me a little more concerned compared to the bold pro…
