So I want to build a home server to use as a media server, and to back up my photos etc.

I am also currently doing an online course, and happen to spend some time at work as well as at home working on it. I don’t like using Google where I can help it, but I find google docs really useful. So I’m wondering if there’s an open source application that works essentially the same, but I could run off my own server? It would have to be web-based as I use Windows at work and can’t install new programs :/

edit: Thanks everyone for your suggestions! I’ve got quite a few leads to follow now, it should be fun!

    Immich is working pretty well for me. Even the search does a decent job of recognizing the things in the pictures.

    I’m not sure what Google photos has that Immich doesn’t, and I’ve been using Google photos for years.

      The mobile app sometimes gets stuck while updating new photos, or just doesn’t run the upload in background even though it’s activated. The web app looks and feels great though.

        You do have to turn off battery saver for the background process. Phones tend to not like background processes. That would cause the behavior you’re seeing.

        Settings > Apps > App battery usage > Immich > Set to “unrestricted”

        Also I have mine set to a ten minute delay, maybe that’s why I haven’t noticed. Maybe try adding a small delay to the load?

        (Primarily I wanted a chance to delete photos before they uploaded.)
