If you haven’t already ruled it out, I recommend checking out Photoprism. It was the first app I ever self-hosted using Docker and I haven’t needed to change my config because of breaking changes yet.

Does photoprism support multiple users yet? That was what drove me to immich. But I also don't love the frequency of breaking changes.

[-] hedgehog@ttrpg.network 3 points 8 months ago

Yes, but not really. You can have multiple users but not multiple libraries.

[-] JustEnoughDucks@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

I think if you pay them like 80€ per year or something.

I use photo prism but be aware they paywall features

[-] Railcar8095@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

I did use it in the past! I should check it again. I didn't like how the multi user was planned (basically independent instances), but was long enough things might have changed.

If you need/want a robust multi-user experience, specifically with private personal library support, then Photoprism isn’t going to work, unfortunately.

  • Free:
    • You can create multiple Admin users in the free version, but they all can see and delete everything (unless you don’t give Photoprism delete access)
  • Paid (Essentials or Plus)
    • you can create “User” users who can upload photos - but they still have access to your full library
    • you can create “Viewer” users who can’t see private photos (but they also can’t upload photos).
    • you can share links to albums that are viewable by anyone with the link

I’ve been using it single user and it’s been great, though I should add the caveat that I upload my photos to my server using Photosync and don’t give Photoprism write/delete access to my library, so no uploads come from it. I had been using Photosync for years before even hearing about Photoprism so it just fit very neatly into my existing process.

Multi user features are effectively paywalled and not technically FOSS due to not allowing commercial use, but roles are documented at https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/users/roles/ and there’s more info at https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/users/libraries/

If Photoprism Plus/Essentials features could work for you, but the ongoing subscription is an issue, then you should know that - unless this has changed - you can sub for one month on Patreon or Github, use the info they provide to upgrade to using the Essentials or Plus features, and then cancel the subscription. I still have an ongoing one but I didn’t connect it to my Patreon account or anything so I don’t think anything would change (except for me no longer getting support, if I needed it) if I canceled it.

Trying to upload high resolution photos (like the 200mp photos taken with my s23 ultra) completely crashes photoprism for me until I stop the docker container and manually delete the images. That makes it unusable for me
