So I’m looking to disconnect myself from Google and their tracking (as much as possible) and I was thinking about installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel phone. I mostly use my phone for Lemmy, Signal, NewPipe and taking photos. The last one is my biggest bother at the moment. The Google Photos environment is so convenient - I take a photo, it uploads it to my Google Photos collection, and after a while, it deletes it from my phone to clear space, keeping only the cloud backup. Is there a functionality like this disconnected from Google that I would be able to implement on my GrapheneOS phone? I’m looking to invest in the Proton environment (mainly Mail and Drive) so I could use that for storage. Cheers
Nextcloud is good. I actually have an instance on my server if you need one. A+ rating on server security test lol
Checkout the “awesome self hosted” list at github.
Since we’re discussing alternatives to Google, does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative to Google’s location sharing? (For family members etc?)
I’m keeping my eyes on Locus: https://github.com/Myzel394/locus

Seems to be working all right - give it a shot!
EDIT: Apologies, missed the self hosted bit.
EDIT2: Found this: https://fossdroid.com/a/hauk.html
I use Syncthing to get the photos and videos off our phones, and Photoprism as the photo library.
But I’m looking to see if there’s a decent replacement for the latter, as the promised multi-user support that was eventually delivered was made a paid feature, without any acknowledgement for those of us that were paid up Github supporters up to that point.
