• Ask HN: How do you manage photos, philosophically?

  It has been years since I was involved with this company, but at the time I worked there, Mylio was very much concerned with this problem, and a brief look at the FAQ suggests that the goals have not changed: https://mylio.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago

• Help with massive Photos library please

  This is an issue for YEARS in icloud. Apples cloud is a mess since me.com... I also had a huge (about 2.5TB) photos library. I switched to mylio.com - in general its a great alternative. Source: 10 months ago

• Photo hosting, but keep lower res copies on phone

  Does it have to be OSS and free? Otherwise Mylio might be the way. Source: about 1 year ago

• Running a C1 database on a server?

  I use mylio https://mylio.com/ and have been very happy with its cross device and platform sync and backup in conjunction with my QNAP NAS. Source: over 1 year ago

• Looking for a Google Photo replacement

  Now, if you also have a PC and want to keep , say, 20 thousand DLSR or Mirrorless camera photos along with smartphone photos, a tool called Mylio syncs photos peer-to-peer (no cloud) across devices. It has some decent editing functionality (tagging, rating, keywords, albums) if that matters. https://mylio.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to tag and store pictures downloaded from the internet?

  Digikam seems ideal for this https://digikam.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• What are your favorite methodologies for organizing digital life

  I have all of my photos (with the exception of smartphone photos... ugh) in a nicely constructed set of folders \photos\yyyy\yyyymmmdd\ then the folder made by the camera, etc. I've got a small python script to generate the folders. I use Digikam[1] to do facial recognition and tagging on them. It's finally gotten to the point where it doesn't crash all the time writing metadata, and the facial recognition is... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• are there any free self-hosted DAMs like Adobe Experience Manager [AEM]?

  I use digikam for my own personal library. I’m not sure if it’s able to be run from a server, but I know you can hook up a NAS to it to manage it. Can tag photos, rank, organize, etc. Source: about 1 year ago

• Looking for a simple Photo manager/DAM for not photos advice?

  Check out digiKam. It has photo editing tools as well, but the main focus is photo management. Also it is free and open source. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Looking for a way to tag my photo collection with keywords

  But with that many photos, I'd suggest a more fully featured digital asset management (DAM) program. Lightroom (paid), DigiKam, or DarkTable (both free) are good choices. PhoTool's IMatch (paid) also uses exiftool and is extremely powerful with regards to metadata. Source: about 2 years ago
