New to this? What open source means and how to read this page.
What it is
A self-hosted photo and video backup with mobile apps, search, face grouping and shared albums.
Good for
People who want a Google Photos style app and control of their own files.
The catch
You run the server, the storage and the backups. If your server fails and you have no backup, the photos are gone. It is also under very active development, so read the release notes before upgrading.
