Hey, I'm wondering what everyone's solution is for self hosted "cloud" storage of photos? I've been running a PhotoPrism server on my Synology for a while but it's missing some features I'd like to have. While we've set up auto-uploading from different phones to the web server, I haven't found an easy way to share read-only access to the pictures or specific albums. There is an admin login, but no way (that I've found) to create multiple users with different permissions.

So SelfHosted lemmy, what's your solve for photo storage, sorting, and sharing?

So, what, it only lets you upload pics remotely but not view? I do not understand.

I was thinking of trying it out but the huge banner saying not to trust it for anything important makes me hesitate every time.

Sorry, my explanation was not very clear. Check this thread: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/1006 this is what I was talking about

Followed that guide. Got redis and postgresql14 installed. When installing immich I get an error in the log that says "error:password authentication failed for user "postgres". I've trirled every combination of changing password, no passwords whatever. It never works.

Have you tried logging in with a simple postgres client?

I'm not sure how I would do that. What sort of application would I use? Postgres doesn't have a webui to log in through. So not sure how else I could test it.

Are you comfortable in command line? There's psql or there's https://www.pgadmin.org/
