Hi guys, I am searching for foss a self hosted solution for a family archive. The idea is to have some kind of wiki with articles for ancestors. Additionally there should be the possibility to store a lot of media (photos) with annotations (descriptions for parts of the image). Some kind of family tree would be cool as well but is not necessary. Offline acces would be cool as well but is also not necessary. In the end the software has to be able to handle a few hundred gigs of media.

I would love to get some recommendations.

Start with plain old Gramps. It can export to static sites with several different templates. Gramps Web is not easy to host or run. It was designed for some specialized things.

Gramps is the way! Running the container self hosted is quick! And it’s very active, lots of UI upgrades. I’m working with my dad in it being in diff countries.👌
