PhotoStructure Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Google Photos Replacement

  It's also worth mentioning Photostructure: https://photostructure.com/ Which is also doing excellent work in this space. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• Self-hosted photo and video backup solution directly from your mobile phone

  I'm not sure it covers all your features listed, but I use PhotoStructure [1] for the 'album' side of things. It's been mentioned a bit on HN, which is where I found it. Sharing is very open for me since I'm just sharing wholesale with family, but when I need to share specific images or albums to people, I usually do it via some other way that suits them -- so if they use messages, email, google drive, dropbox, or... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

  Try this one out, I used it a few year ago and it was the best option for a low footprint docker app. https://photostructure.com. Source: 11 months ago

  Check out Photostructure... Great way to view photos! Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Best tool for de-duplication of local files

  I had a similar issue with photos/videos and ended up building a cli app to organize everything, it has worked for my use case relatively well, still, there are uncovered corner cases. For example, this compares hashes only instead of the same photo in a different dimension: https://github.com/wiringbits/my-photo-timeline I understand that https://photostructure.com/ has a far more sophisticated dedup algorithm,... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: How can a total beginner start with self-hosting

  > - photos: NextCloud If you don't mind horrible experience viewing photos/videos via nextcloud, go on. In my case this was unusable. Thumbnails not pregenerated even after trying (Yeah, didn't spend whole day on that issue) and generates on the fly. So viewing larger directory is... rubbish. Videos don't play as nice not to say they don't even have thumbnails. How great was HN when it suggested me... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Best way to replace Google Photo?

  If you do need such features as face recognition, places, etc. Use check Photostructure and Photoprism. https://photostructure.com/ https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism If those features are not required, a self-hosted Nextcloud can do the job. https://nextcloud.com/athome/.

• Looking for a software that automatically organizes my videos and pictures in folders, depending on the subject of the video/pic (so it needs to recognize them using AI, I suppose). My laptop runs windows 10.

  Check Photostructure and Photoprism which provide face recognition, places, tags, and many other features you can use to organize your data. Https://photostructure.com/ Https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism. Source: over 1 year ago

• Gmail will call the cops on you based on the content of your emails

  > Photostructure (https://photostructure.com/) lacks a lot of features google photos has - but one of those missing features is calling the police on you. Yet. They will be forced to implement it. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Google bans man's account, will not reinstate even after being cleared by law enforcement

• Looking for Self Hosted Photos in Browser from Windows Desktop File structure.

  As the title says, I'm looking for a way to view my photos on my desktop tower through my phone or laptop when I'm out and about at college. They are currently being synced using syncthing. I would also like to be able to share the photos, but it's okay if that's not possible. I would also like for the photos to be accessible through a browser instead of an app for ease of use. I currently have a setup that uses ... Source: over 1 year ago

• Google Photos alternative with (good) facial recognition?

  PhotoStructure - Beautiful. I have not see a faces option yet, so this will be a deal breaker. The $5/month doesn't intimidate me, as long as it works. It's not particularly fast, even on my decent server. PhotoStructure and PhotoPrism are still under evaluation. Source: over 1 year ago

• iCloud Photos alternative?

  Photostructure (link) is a slam dunk for that use-case. It's much more "photo management" software rather than a gallery with fancy sharing and ML features. It has sophisticated deduping, can organize your library, is inexpensive, and cross-platform. You can run the binary on your laptop or host it with docker as a server. It's the kind of thing you can use to keep track of your photos forever. Source: over 1 year ago

• Selfhosting on Localhost

  If you don’t mind closed source software, I’ve found PhotoStructure to be a little nicer. Ive found it’s the closest thing to google photos/apple photos that’s still self-hostable: https://photostructure.com/. - Source: Hacker News / almost 2 years ago

• Google Photos Alternative?

  Check out PhotoStructure. It is fairly early and under active development, but it is already a very solid offering! Source: almost 2 years ago

• Is there any alternatives to Synology Photos for mobile?

  I haven't tried any of these, but PhotoStructure, Photoview, and LibrePhotos are all on my list to evaluate. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Real hidden gems when it comes to self hosting

  Photostructure is my go-to photo app. I just want a way to view my photos (jpg, png, heic) in a read-only folder mount without the app trying to create metadata or files, or thumbnails. (It does have a paid plan for face detection and some 'advanced' features, but idc about any of that). Source: about 2 years ago

• Switching to Linux from mac

  I would use SyncThing if I want something simple and 100% free, but it isn't enough for my usecase as I want selective sync, so I'm now using Resilio. There's a good guide to setting it up on Ubuntu here. It works amazing for file backups, and I set it to backup my photos too. Currently looking into either PhotoPrism or PhotoStructure for managing the backed up photos. Source: over 2 years ago

• data hoarding software

  For photos specifically, I plan to give PhotoStructure a try as soon as I get some time. Looks like it has some nice features and also has a heavy emphasis on keeping your data in your own control, self hosting, etc. It's a relatively new piece of software I think but I have high hopes for it moving forward.

• Designing better file organization around tags, not hierarchies

  I've been meaning to try out PhotoStructure[1] for a while now as it looks like it might just be a good place to finally put some effort into organizing my collection. Nothing is guaranteed to last forever but it looks like the author is planning ahead in this case such that even if he goes out of business, all the work I put into organizing would not be meaningless (data is stored in a sqlite db and code will be... - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
