Hi guys, I am searching for foss a self hosted solution for a family archive. The idea is to have some kind of wiki with articles for ancestors. Additionally there should be the possibility to store a lot of media (photos) with annotations (descriptions for parts of the image). Some kind of family tree would be cool as well but is not necessary. Offline acces would be cool as well but is also not necessary. In the end the software has to be able to handle a few hundred gigs of media.
I would love to get some recommendations.
Nextcloud offers practically everything you ask for besides the family tree and even that might be available as a plugin (or “App” as Nextcloud calls tem). Or if you’re willing to split photos in a different app, Immich works great.
I’m a noob who just turned to Linux and is planning a similar selfhosting project like OP. What apps/plugins of Nextcloud would you recommend?
Depends heavily on what you need/want. My current installation doesn’t have anything extra, mail and calendar with “standard” file storage (with sync agents on desktop/laptop) is well enough on what I use it for as my photos are in Immich instance.
NC is kind of a pain to run and tries to do far to much. I’d pick different software to run than adding addons to nextcloud.
That being said, I add contacts and calendar and use it to sync to my PC/Phone
