A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

Hi guys, I am searching for foss a self hosted solution for a family archive. The idea is to have some kind of wiki with articles for ancestors. Additionally there should be the possibility to store a lot of media (photos) with annotations (descriptions for parts of the image). Some kind of family tree would be cool as well but is not necessary. Offline acces would be cool as well but is also not necessary. In the end the software has to be able to handle a few hundred gigs of media.

I would love to get some recommendations.

What you're looking for is genealogy software. You've got me curious about this as well now, hadn't thought about it before. I'm seeing some recommendations online for Gramps Web, don't know if it's a perfect fit but might be a good starting point.

Start with plain old Gramps. It can export to static sites with several different templates. Gramps Web is not easy to host or run. It was designed for some specialized things.

Gramps is the way! Running the container self hosted is quick! And it’s very active, lots of UI upgrades. I’m working with my dad in it being in diff countries.👌
