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 all, this is my first post on Lemmy so I apologize if I get the formatting wrong. I am a tech nerd with just enough knowledge to follow YouTube tutorials but never truly understand what I’m doing. I recently created my own truenas scale server using an Aoostar R7 case. I am becoming a dad very soon and my wife and I are looking for ways to share photos of our baby without selling her and biometrics to the big cloud in the sky. The idea of my future daughter being tracked without her consent since birth is really gross to me.

I am wondering if there is a good, relatively simple and friendly way to share photo albums with relatives (normies) that is private and perhaps temporary. Ideally, I could share a private/unlisted link of sorts. I do have an instance of Immich and tunneled it to a web url but I don’t know if it can share with outside users easily.

There are a few public iOS apps that I believe do this but I don’t trust their servers/privacy policies. Any ideas that aren’t a massive headache or require command line guru-status to run?
