Self-hosted, super simple photo stream

If you're looking for a self-hosted/decentralized Instagram alternative, there's also pixelfed.org, a very active project which supports ActivityPub. This means that people can follow your "Instagram" (really Pixelfed) stream from their "Twitter" (really Mastodon) account.

Hmm, this looks great. I&#x27;d really love to pair it with a simple way to add text or tags to my photos. What is the simplest way to write &quot;Visit to the creek after the bushfire&quot; and save it with the two or three photos I took that day?<p>I wish (hope?) something simple like this is supported in a linux picture viewing application, and I just don&#x27;t know which one it is. Can a line or two of text be stored in an EXIFish field? Has someone already written a script to take care of this?<p>But back to the main point - this is a great app and I can see myself using it to share photos with friends and family. Thanks for making it :)

Very interesting if you consider the &quot;offline fist&quot; or &quot;local first&quot; movement that supports the idea that all content must be created, stored and managed by the user first, then shared in the cloud(s). We saw the first wave of discussions about text-based content, then a void when the focus moved to images and video. Solutions like this one may represent a turning point.

I like the look and feel of this. My wife is an amateur photographer and she’s been looking for a simple way to post &#x2F; share outside of social media. Fun side project for the weekend setting this up!

Just wanted to say thank you, I have been looking for something almost like this.<p>Only thing it is missing for me is support for videos. But I know videos are pain to self-host and if you use embedded player from YouTube or Vimeo then it kills the aesthetics.

I do like the idea, and I&#x27;ve love to move from Google Photo into something... now Google.<p>However, Google Photos covers an aspect that this does not: it syncs the photos _off_ my phone into an online stream.<p>I actually use Google Photos because it&#x27;s the only way of getting photos off your phone. The only other mechanism is iCloud, but if you don&#x27;t have a Mac, there&#x27;s no way to read from it.

This is nice and all, but why on earth do I have to enable JavaScript to see the photos?

Just finished the readme and I have no idea what makes this &quot;super simple&quot;.

Awesome. What a joyful experience after IG or similar services. Nimble and simple.

Another good option in this space: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;thumbsup&#x2F;thumbsup" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;thumbsup&#x2F;thumbsup</a>

Look awesome - I&#x27;ve been looking for some hackable code like this to present my photos from google drive. Cheap photo hosting from google + minimal load on my server...

I hope it could be extended to retrieve tags and titles from IPCT&#x2F;Exif. To rename files to photo titles is not very viable and scalable solution, IMHO.

Thank you for sharing! I&#x27;ve been looking for something just like this forever.

Looks cool. How much storage do Github Pages or Netlify support for free?

thank you for sharing. I was thinking about building the same thing.

I need exactly this! Looks very nice and simple, and fast.

Seems interesting, but I&#x27;m missing a preview site ;)

Very nice, congrats! :)

where is the back button ?
