Open-source photo gallery with cloud backup and end-to-end encryption

For any iOS users that want a self hosted photo backup I can very much recommend https://www.photosync-app.com/. I set it up once years ago, never open it and still it silently backups any photo and video (original and edited) I take to WebDAV and a B2 bucket in the background, sorted in subfolders for every month.

Does it Live Photo? That’s generally the sticking point I’ve run into on any service but iCloud to do it right.

Live Photos are saved as a .heic and a .mov file.

another +1 for photosync. bought it a few years ago now and it just works in the background reliably ever since. (backing up mine and my wife’s iphone photos to a synology NAS)

It’s only good for backups though. There’s no way to browse/share memories so we reluctantly still also use Amazon photos...

Why don't you use DS Photo from Synology? It's a bit dated but you can have auto upload of pictures and browse PhotoStation. We do, at home

Thanks. Yeah I might give it a try, but...

1. It’s still a kind of vendor lock-in that I’m not crazy about

2. I’m generally underwhelmed by the synology apps (eg music) and prefer docker based foss alternatives when available

3. I was reading somewhere about DS moments (after another mention on this post) and I think they require a special folder structure?

1. Yeah i understand. Something more free/libre would have been a better choice. On the other hand I also like that it's quite "complete" so i don't have a lot of chances of screwing it up

2. Yeah, I only use DS Photo for backup / browsing on my phone. And Drive to replace Dropbox.

3. Not entirely sure about DS moments, as i use Photostation. In there it's basically each folder is an album (or sub/album).

True, PhotoSync is definitely a back-up solution, to be used alongside a browsing solution.

PhotoSync talks to WebDAV natively. When I want to access those backups from my Mac I use Forklift (https://binarynights.com/) but even Finder and Windows Explorer can browse WebDAV storage natively.
