Free Software Google Photos alternative?
by Billy Croan 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

I'm looking for a Software Freedom alternative to Google Photos I can host myself. Mainly because my volume is too large for google to take without charging extra. But it's also just a good opportunity to remove another of google's shackles. Do any of you run your own web app for photo organizing & sharing?
