Jour 23 : Piwigo

Piwigo est un outil pour créer une chouette galerie de photos sur le web. Exposez vos clichés sans passer par une galerie mondaine snob 📸

Ich war in den letzten Monaten sehr fleissig bei der Abkehr von "Big Tech" Services. In Richtung EU, Open Source, lokal am Raspberry oder am "eigenen" Web-Server in Österreich. Neben Mastodon zum Beispiel #HomeAssistant (Smart Home mit viel Zigbee - am Raspberry), #Immich (Fotos - am Raspberry), #Piwigo (Fotos & Videos als Backup - am Web-Server), #Jellyfin (Media-Player - am Raspberry), #Obsidian (Notizen & Aufgaben), #Signal (Messenger), E-Mail (lokaler Anbieter), Kontakte & Termine (ownCloud am Web-Server), Cloud (Jottacloud, Shadow Drive, Filen), #Qobuz (Musik), #KeePassium (Passwort Manager - ownCloud am Web-Server), Web-Browser & Suchmaschinen (#Startpage, #Qwant, #Ecosia), Mistral #LeChat ("KI") sowie Tolino & Thalia.
Ein paar Sachen sind offen, die ich noch nicht ändern will, aber jederzeit könnte. Zum Beispiel die Nest Rauchmelder (das allerletzte Produkt im Google-Konto) und ein paar Apple-Services (Pay, Wallet, Karten).
Beim Streaming von Filmen & Serien nehme ich schon länger selektiv Monats-Abos oder nutze die öfters vorhandenen Gratis- / Rabatt-Angebote. Ich könnte aber auch komplett darauf verzichten.

In answer to the question "what softwares are you hosting?"
( long post warning )->
While I am good with things like flashing OS's onto all kinds of devices, and designing and maintaining my own website, I am a total noob at anything server related. I tried to setup a Yunohost server a little bit ago, so that I could self host a bunch of Fediverse related services, and all went smooth until it came to the port forwarding, which just confused me to the point I gave up (noting given I have a local network of a bunch of desktops vital to my biz, I didn't want to do anything that could compromise its security). I plan to turn the box I put Yunohost on, to running Open Media Vault on as a local NAS & local music server.

I do however pay for Bluehost to remote host my own website, & after discovered Softaculous, which allows easy installation of some platforms, some of which I can add as subfolders to my already existing domain, making it way easier & cheaper to configure. So I added a Piwigo photo gallery that I can upload to directly from my Android phone, and share either publicly or to various private groups - https://piwigo.org (or see the public part at https://totalsonic.net/photos ). I also added an Open Source Social Network instance - https://www.opensource-socialnetwork.org/ (aka OSSN), that I set up just for two users (my biz related blog and a personal one), so I can post public facing long form news to my website without needing to upload html - that's at https://totalsonic.net/ossn/u/TotalSonic

So, I'm not hosting anything Fediverse or ActivityPub related right now, but I am working on more "digital sovereignty." Given a Friendica instance I was on is shutting down tomorrow, & that I've experienced outages on the Diaspora instance I am on, self hosting makes sense towards having continuity & forward access into the future to ones posts. Think I am most interested in getting a PeerTube or similar instance going though, while there are plenty of well maintained public instances for micro-blogging & similar (for which I am really liking Wafrn now) seems to me we really need to get away from YouTube's near monopoly for video.

Hello/Bonjour,

Je cherche encore une app web pour gérer et classes mes photos depuis que Koken.me est mort. J'ai vu Piwigo et Litchee mais ça semble un poil plus lourd. Avez-vous une suggestion ?

I am still looking for a web app that will manage/display my photos as Koken.me has been closed for a while now. I saw Piwigo and Litchee, but they seem a bit "heavier". Any suggestion?

@shaft ah ça me rappelle que je devais m'intéresser à piwigo. est-ce que piwigo et Nextcloud cohabitent bien ?

J'utilise Nextcloud photo, qui était préalablement pourri mais a bcp progressé je trouve (albums, carte, reconnaissance des visages, des monuments, tags automatique).

As tu comparé les deux ? J'imagine que piwigo doit être meilleur en perf...

#Nextcloud #piwigo

Piwigo bekommt ein Major Upgrade. So weit so gut.

In der Installation bekomme ich zu lesen, daß einige Themes und Extensions nicht mehr funktionieren werden. Welche, steht nicht dabei. Schon gar nicht, ob ich eines davon nutze.

Wenn ich auf der Website auf „Changelog“ klicke, bekomme ich lauter große bunte Bilder, die mir sagen, was jetzt alles toller geworden ist. Was nicht mehr läuft: Fehlanzeige.

Wo finde ich jetzt raus, was kaputt geht, wenn ich update?

#Piwigo

@samwilson #Piwigo is really simple and good. easy to deploy,maintain, upload photos.

Hmm I seem to be getting sidetracked and am installing #Piwigo as a step towards archiving some people's Flickr photos. Probably this is silly and I don't actually have time to see it through. Being sick isn't really meant to be about starting new projects, is it? My head hurts.

Huzzah! @shom and @elaterite - I think you might find this particularly interesting…

I managed to add a handful of custom metadata fields to #darktable (I only have a few folders of images there as a test) to store film/camera/development info. After a bit of troubleshooting and reading output from #exiftool, I added a formula in the export metadata settings to concatenate a handful of them into “description” exif fields. Now adding the image in my mastodon app (mona) pulls in the description as alt-text just like my #Lightroom / #NLP images do. I uploaded the same image in a #Piwigo album and it pulls in the same.

One MAJOR hurdle overcome - I have 9-ish months left of free Lightroom thanks to my new Nikon, so I have that long to try to figure out the rest.

(By the way this image was reversed with negadoctor, and it’s a test image from the Moskva I bought in NY.)

Part 5 of 5
Uploaded images are automatically sorted by a script and imported into Piwigo for browsing and sharing.

@twizzt

For managing photo collections I've heard about #Piwigo but I haven't used it myself. Seems to be open source, 23 years old, and with automatic classification of images for directed photo search, with machine learning.

does anyway know how to make logic based tags in (self hosted) piwigo?

lets say i have a picture of the bus "CMBC 9670" and tag it as such. upon applying that tag, i want all the implied tags to be added too, including "CMBC", "TransLink", "Diesel", "NovaBus LFS Gen2", etc. is there a way i can make a rule to tag things recursively like that? it would save me a hell of a lot of time and effort if that could be done automatically. my photo gallery very much revolves around specifically tagged nerd stuff liek trains and buses, so everything is tagged to hell and back.

For those who use #Shotwell to manage and publish photos to #Piwigo: have you had any difficulties with photos not being associated to the requested album?

It seems most of the time the photos just get uploaded without any album association now.

Filed a report about that, but I unfortunately did not see meaningful logs output: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/shotwell/-/issues/5156

#photography #Linux #GNOME

@Rutrapio @pecet yes, this is my use case, but Immich feels like, unless you go the docker way, is a heavy thing to setup. I still need to find the time to do it.

Another alternative I have in sight is #piwigo.

Just set up a #Piwigo gallery on my website to see if it can work out well for self hosted public & private photo sharing. #Pixelfed is great for sharing stuff to the general public, but Activity Pub isn't so good with keeping shares to small private groups.

So - here's testing out the public sharing part, recent shots on one of the daily walks with my pugzu Sweetie, to the new bike path & Library our town put up.

what do yall think of my new watermark? i needed to design a new one that was less obtrusive than the previous, as piwigo only supports overlays, and not expanding the frame to add my iconic "black bar" watermark...

this is the result (image 1), where i have a small logo and license card in the bottom right corner. since so much of my library already had been watermarked manually using an imagemagick script, which i used well before getting piwigo, i had to design my new overlay watermark to fit the old one. simply because piwigo applies the watermark to EVERY SINGLE PHOTO, even the old ones, which is terribly annoying but whatever i'll deal with it. see image two for example of the new watermark seamlessly overlaid over the old one, without looking out of place. i just hope this works for all sizes, but i guess we'll see...

image 1: new watermark on new image
image 2: new watermark seamlessly overlaid on old image of arbitrary dimensions, janky workaround

I have been self hosting #piwigo for some 20 years (now on a vps). This could be a decent solution for you.
It has good fine detail for permissions at the photo level - any photo can be chosen to be visible at the public, contacts, friends or family level - you can assign users to any of these categories. Also, you can create names of groups and assign users to groups. Then at the album and sub-album level, you can restrict access to any group.

Any one using #piwigo? Do you know if I can test the app against one of the demo sites? I don't want to install the whole thing just to see if the Android app suits me.
