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 The project has been archived and its development has moved to LibrePhotos.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
