Ownphotos is a self-hosted Google Photos alternative built with a Django backend and React frontend, offering face recognition, object detection, automatic event albums, and location-based photo search. The project has been archived and its development has moved to LibrePhotos.

Use cases

  • self-host my photo library like google photos
  • organize photos by people using face recognition
  • search my photos by objects detected in them
  • automatically create event albums from my pictures
  • view my photos on a map by location
  • run a private photo gallery on my own server with docker

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted Google Photos clone with face detection and object search
  • you prefer owning your photo data on your own hardware instead of a cloud service
  • you want to explore the original codebase that LibrePhotos evolved from

When to avoid

  • you want an actively maintained self-hosted photo manager - use LibrePhotos instead
  • you need a stable production-ready photo solution, since this project was explicitly in early stages
  • you require photo sharing or editing features that were never completed here
