Yesterday I recorded myself setting up PhotoPrism on an old laptop to document the journey. Everything went pretty smoothly which was great. In the past, I've used several different mainstream providers which ended up not working for me:
- Google Photos (been trying to move away from Google products for a while)
- One Drive (I'm not sure if this is widespread but my connection to One Drive servers are so slow. This is super evident right now as I'm trying to pull all my photos from it and it's taking forever)
- iCloud (This works pretty well but it doesn't feel great when I'm on my non-Apple devices)
I'm pretty excited to have local hardware running flexible software to host my things. I still need to figure out how I want to expose the computer so I have access to it away from home (I'm thinking of using Cloudflare Tunnel?).
Next up is finding software to stream videos to my TV so I can start getting rid of some streaming services.
