A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi! I've posted on photofield here before - my self-hosted photo gallery software. There's been a bunch of changes since last time that you can check out in the CHANGELOG, but this is my first attempt to write about why I made it and how it's different! Any feedback is welcome!

I tried photofield and I loved it. What was missing for me was folder view! If it will be ever added, I will switch immediately.

Thanks! Do you mean explorer-like folder browsing?

[–] Shimitar@feddit.it 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

All my photos are sorted into albums, i always browse them by album.

Don't care for "explorer like" but I need to see them as the albums they are part of, like all together in the same view, and be able to select which album/albums I want to look at

Hmm, I'm not sure I understand exactly. By default it uses each subfolder as an album / collection that you can pick on the home page. You can also configure custom collections/albums consisting of arbitrary directories. You could also configure e.g. an "all" collection with all the photos combined by listing the root directory(s). Is that what you meant?

Yes, maybe I need to recheck... Maybe now will work as I intended...
