And some basic image editing! At last
These madlads are making better free software than anyone is making for $ these days.
Just purchased a server license (for life). Not only is this update jam packed full of nice features, but a lot of their updates are. I’ve been self-hosting it (on a VPS) for the past year and it’s about time I supported them
This release also brings you […] a new font face (“The-name-must-not-be-named” Sans) that improves reading legibility, especially for numbers and smaller text
What’s the story about that font name? I’m out of the loop.
It’s a running meme on their website. They don’t want to name Google, so they call it that way.
So the font must be Google Sans.
That’s how I call my ex wife.
I guess it’s just google sans, they use this placeholder elsewhere too
Yesss I’ve been wanting the clean up space feature ever since I left Google Photos. I need to remember to donate next time I get paid.
How simple is this program to use, I am moving to linux and while novie just want to start using my pc for pc things like storing my pictures.
This software is more meant to be ran in a server environment, it’s suppose to be a replacement to subscription based photo/video cloud storage. I would not recommend you run this on a desktop you use daily as it’ll consume resources in the background slowing your desktop down, this is kinda why NAS storage systems exist.
Once you get a grasp on the BASH shell I would suggest playing around with docker and docker compose in a headless environment (headless = no desktop environment, shell only) as there are loads of applications you can self-host over your network.
There are docker script and docker compose installs. It was basically reading the documents and Editting a few text files and launching it in docker. Hardest part I found was the face tagging, it was totally counter intuitive to assign a face and persons name. Like almost obfuscated. Once you set that up though it just does its thing superbly well
I personally found this really easy to initially install, much easier than photo prism… however it’s died twice on me (postgres issues) first was due to an update and then incorrect permissions… I’m not sure what broke it the second time… So whilst easy to install, does still require maintenance and time to fix issues.
Have they implemented the new api from Apple that lets them do background backup like Photos does?
