The iOS app on my phone doesn’t have that option.

Hopefully they improved face tagging. I can’t work out how to add a new person’s name.

Awesome! But damn, I just installed v1.144.1 last night to play around with it. 😁

Exactly!

“We hate the fediverse! Join us on our Lemmy server in the fediverse!”

I’m also using SFTPGo at home and it works well.

I used a NetCup VPS for a while but it would repeatedly have terrible performance, presumably because whoever I was sharing the server with was hammering the machine.

I use https://sftpgo.com/ at home for backing up and accessing files. It’s a private unshared network and it works well.

Because Google don’t want you to export your photos. They want you to depend on them 100%.

Spot on. You can’t self host without reading app and system logs.

I’m using https://sftpgo.com/, which uses WebDAV. It’s as basic as can be but I like it because it’s so basic. I can mount drives in windows and Linux and it has a basic webui for file management. The only problem for me is mobile apps. I’m trying out OwlFiles on Android and iOS; the free version includes WebDAV support, which works well.

Don’t make anything accessible via the internet if you’re new and starting out. The last thing you want is to accidentally leave a port open, leave an admin page with a default guessable password, or a piece of vulnerable software running and have someone gain access to your local network.

Start locally and learn the basics following the excellent advice of others here, and slowly build your knowledge until you understand the various moving and connecting pieces.

Haha it’s easy to overthink things sometimes. I’m guilty of that. I’m using SFTPGo at home to serve files from a small server.

Would this work? https://rclone.org/

Yeah, you’re right. I completely forgot about the conspiracy theorists etc.

Interesting tech, shame about the content.

They are, it’s full of crypto folk and not much else.

I think it’s worth investigating. I took a look but I didn’t want to deal with the file chunking, and settled on something slow and simple in SFTPGO.

They do. I thought I’d mention it as some people don’t mind that aspect of it.

Seafile might be able to replace Drive.

Haha! When I first learned about SFTPGo it took me a while to not include a “2”!

I created another group and hit the same problem. I had to restart the docker container before it worked. Odd.
