Google Photos Alternative (lemmy.brennoflavio.com.br)

What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I'm using Nextcloud but I'm thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

Nah. The Premium model is kinda bullshit. As a free tier open source user you will always be a second class citizen.

Also everyone who wants to commit code has to sign away his rights for them.

tl;dr maintainer gets money from open source contribution over the premium tier, but hinders everyone else to do the same with the AGPL licence.(kinda)

That's not a good foundation to start off.

So you think it is bad cause others can't take their work and make money off of it? Seems to be a real problem in open source right now that others are doing exactly that and something I don't begrudge a small development team doing.

Not affiliated with them just been using and happily subscribed for a year+ now. Better than Google getting my money.

No, i think it is bad that the owner takes away the rights from the contributors.

AGPL alone does already solve the problem.

But both, is not sustainable.

Also the trademark owner can relicense the code anytime and just close the source. It is not community project

I think many developer feel like me. Just look at the contributor list on both projects.

That's a fair point. I think you are right that it is not a community project. Something for me to consider. Thanks for the response.
