SiRMarlon Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hey everyone, Is there by any chance an app/docker that does photo hosting like photobucket or Imgur? I'd like to run something behind SWAG so I can host my own photos. I wanted to host my own site on unRAID but it looks like GoDaddy will not let me set my @ record to my DDNS Address that I currently use. It has to be to an IP address so I figured I can run a subdomain for my photos instead. Any ideas or insights would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Quote Link to comment
Energen Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 So I don't know much about configuring domain names... I only just bought one last week, for the first time ever with Namecheap. Same type of setup, though. @ has to be an IP address and not a hostname. One work around would be if GoDaddy has any automated dynamic ip update api that you could use to update from a user script ... something apparently along the lines of: https://www.godaddy.com/community/Managing-Domains/Dynamic-DNS-Updates/td-p/7862 https://www.instructables.com/Quick-and-Dirty-Dynamic-DNS-Using-GoDaddy/ As for the photos.. I don't have anything set up at the moment but in the past I've used piwigo for a gallery type of display. It is ok, but doesn't offer a very modern feeling interface... so it depends what you're after. Some I've been meaning to try but haven't gotten around to them yet --- librephotos, photoprism, photoview, and chevereto There's a couple threads here about photo dockers... might find some inspiration. If you search for photos in the community apps you'll see all these pop up. Quote Link to comment
Aran Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) I feel your pain. I'm also looking for a complete self hosted photo solution and not just for storing them. I want to go a step further and also would love: - a self hosted website for viewing photo's and albums - sharing options - the option to resize images when i upload them - a compatible android app with auto upload function. Basically a self hosted google photo's -like system but with a compatible mobile app. There are enough options but i miss the mobile integration. ios/android. (don't tell me about nextcloud!) I tested photoshow, piwigo, filerun, pydio, seafile, filebrowser, minio, tonido and they all do what is promised so i can't complain but i miss that 'final thing'. I'm currently running nextcloud as our own cloud and lychee to share nostalgic pictures with friends. Don't get me wrong. I love what others coded in there spare time but i miss an all-in solution and i'm certainly willing to pay for it. Edited March 3, 2021 by Aran Quote Link to comment

If you already have DDNS setup, create a CNAME record that points to your DDNS address. https://www.godaddy.com/help/add-a-cname-record-19236 Quote Link to comment

Also got NGINX Proxy Manager configured as well as Binhex-Nginx and ended up self hosting my site so I am good to go! 1 Quote Link to comment

With the help of one of my webdev friends we were able to build it, but I mainly use it to host pictures as I am a heavy user on certain car forums with a lot of write ups. I use to use Photobucket but suck really bad now. So I moved all my photos to my site and re-linked them. I wasn't trying to do anything like full frontend photography thing. It was more interested in the backend of things and being able to access them. Quote Link to comment
