I've been unable to find an open source multiuser local photo product. I'd love for my whole family to upload cell phone photos and SD cards to a central place we could share and tag from, without it belonging to Google.

I run a small linux server that acts as a NAS. I rsync everyone's phones to a home directory, manually, and then pull that into a shared directory.

I just went through and renamed all my pictures by the exif create date, adding any unique names to exif UserComment.

I'm working on scripting all of this, but it works for me and I can pull data from anything into the directory. Everyone in the house can access it via samba and view the pictures.

This is exactly how my family uses PhotoStructure: https://blog.photostructure.com/introducing-photostructure/
