Hi @rochak. I've been wanting something similar for a while and have been working on my own solution with a focus on privacy and open source. For this reason all image analysis (AI/location awareness etc.) is done locally and it can all run within a Docker container. This is the site so far and there's also an online demo: https://photonix.org/

Hi @damian. That looks pretty cool. I’ll check it out. Just a small question - Is there any future plan to have a UI/UX that looks like a photo library, kind of like Google Photos. I understand that a lot of tagging and organising can be done using metadata, but I prefer building my own library and customising it. Nevertheless, this is pretty close to what I have in mind and because it is open source, I’ll see if I can extend it a bit to suit my needs.
Hi @rochak. Thanks for the feedback. We do allow for tagging but the UI is a bit hidden on the photo detail screen right now. If you click a thumbnail and then scroll down you can see the auto generated tags, histogram, location and can add tags of your own. I'm going to change that part of the UI soon so it comes in from the right I think and has an icon to access it.
I also want to allow selecting of multiple thumbnails to do batch operations. I guess that's a better way for doing many photos at a time.
