I’ve got a conundrum, and Nostr is the only place I think might have answer.

I’m looking for some kind of software/program/protocol/whatever to allow me to organize my 20+ years of digital photos.

Bonus if it isn’t in the cloud (already have Google Photo as an extra layer of redundancy).

Everything is backed up on a solid state drive, in a fire safe.

Folders are well organized, but I feel like I’m missing the functionality of writing on the back of the print, in the analog world, so I get finer details with those folders.

Thanks.

Check out DigiKam or XnView MP for local photo management with tagging and descriptions. Both are great for adding "back of print" details while keeping everything offline.

Nextcloud? You can host it on your Umbrel. Loads of features open source etc…

I have this same issue except my folders are not organized at all. Many of the cloud services will do facial recognition and date organizing ect, but I don't be feeding my life's worth of pictures into the panopticon.

My plan is to wait until there are open source (ish) self hosted AI models that I can run on my machine or my node that will organize the photos for me.

Just a matter of time really.
