Does anyone have any recommendations of a site or a self-hosted option for uploading photo collections? I’d love to share photos of our child with the grandparents but end up just sending the odd snap through WhatsApp, it would be nice to make an actual collection.
There are things I really like, e.g. that you can restrict access per user.
But there's no comment/chat/discussion facility, so you cannot easily get feedback on your photos.
There's also NextCloud, but I think the solutions there are a bit more rudimentary. However, if you already use NextCloud (or a similar solution like a CMS for example), you could look for a plugin. https://nextcloud.com/
I highly suggest Immich [1], it's an open-source and self-host alternative for Google Photos. It's still under very active development, but I think it's the best out there.
