“谷歌照片”是备份你的照片和视频的最流行的选择之一。（LCTT 译注：并不是……）


考虑到它是大多数安卓手机的默认选择，使用谷歌照片管理照片/视频是一种无缝体验。


但是，如果你想从它那里转移到一些开源的、对隐私更友好的东西怎么办？不只是谷歌照片，还有其它一些照片托管平台也是专有的。


请看看 Piwigo，一个开源的 [照片管理软件](https://itsfoss.com/linux-photo-management-software/) 来帮助你。


### Piwigo：你可以自行托管的开源照片库


![](/data/attachment/album/202203/24/103248h11vmyv3ct3vmhm3.jpg)


[Piwigo](https://piwigo.com/) 是一个开源解决方案，可以帮助管理你的照片和视频。


你可以选择自己托管，控制你的数据，或者选择云托管（**数据存储在法国，有备份**）。


顺便说一句，该公司起源于法国。


不仅仅是针对个人，Piwigo 也为组织和团队量身定做。


如果你担心使用谷歌照片或类似服务上传时的隐私政策，Piwigo 可以成为一个出色的替代品。


Piwigo 提供了一系列的功能和细粒度的控制来管理你的照片。


### Piwigo 的功能


![](/data/attachment/album/202203/24/103250ifamg31foddr5r3e.png)


虽然它是主流服务的一个可行的替代品，但它为个人和组织提供了先进的功能。


一些功能包括：


* 通过云托管（\*.piwigo.com）获得你的专用子域
* 能够批量下载
* 创建相册
* 选择照片来分配现有的相册集
* 通过链接分享照片
* 用公共和私人模式进行访问管理
* 能够对用户进行分组，以管理你的相册或照片（对组织/团队来说很有效）。
* 基本分析，以跟踪你的使用情况和使用的存储空间
* 支持向相册/照片添加标签
* 支持深色模式
* 能够编辑照片的元数据
* 过滤器，以快速找到照片/相册
* 支持 JPG/JPEG、PNG 和 GIF 文件（针对个人）
* 支持所有文件类型（仅适用于企业使用）
* 为个人用户提供无限的存储空间
* 支持自定义域名（即使是云托管选项）
* 插件可扩展功能
* 支持主题
* 移动支持（安卓和 iOS）


除了上述功能外，你还可以获得改善用户管理和 Piwigo 的整体用户体验的更多选项。

我使用其针对个人的云托管选项（**有 30 天的试用期**）对其进行了快速测试。让我分享我的一些见解，以帮助你在尝试之前了解它们。


### 使用 Piwigo 来管理照片


当你注册一个账户时，你可以指定你的自定义子域。


例如，我把我的测试账户放在 **[ankushsoul.piwigo.com](http://ankushsoul.piwigo.com)**。


![](/data/attachment/album/202203/24/103253zltrcfaflkcrt4sn.png)


任何人都可以通过在他们的浏览器中输入上述 URL 来访问我公开分享的照片/相册。


所以，最好是尽可能保持子域的名称独一无二。在这两种情况下，你也可以将相册/照片限制给登录的用户（或你自己），其他人即使知道你的子域，也无法访问你的照片。


![](/data/attachment/album/202203/24/103255xookvzrqbphhjz22.png)


你可以前往它的仪表板，检查你的存储使用情况和整体活动情况。


它有两个激活的插件，一个用于内部功能，另一个默认用于打击垃圾信息。


![](/data/attachment/album/202203/24/103255z007pf5ip52ekf2u.png)


你会发现有很多插件可以加强批量管理，启用管理员信息，激活相册的评论，在你的相册上添加到期时间，限制下载，以及访问一些令人兴奋的功能。


你可以花点时间浏览一下现有的插件选择，评估一下它们与谷歌照片相比能有多大用处。


当然，你在任何主流的云照片托管服务中都得不到这种控制。


所以，这很值得探索。


![](/data/attachment/album/202203/24/103257cp3vqinan3v8hvr3.png)


对于现有的其他功能，你可以管理多个用户，控制访问，发送通知（通过电子邮件），还可以进行一些维护活动。


总的来说，用户体验是相当好的。它可能没有提供最现代的用户界面，但它可以工作，而且很容易管理。


**注意**：考虑到 Play Store 上的应用没有收到最新的更新，移动体验（在 Android 上）可能并不令人满意。然而，你可以在他们的 GitHub 上找到最新版本的 APK 文件。


### 开始使用 Piwigo


我认为 Piwigo 非常适合各类人使用，从想组织照片的人，到想合作/分享图片的用户，都可以使用。


如果你选择自我托管，你应该查看它的 [文档](https://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php) 和探索 [GitHub 页面](https://github.com/Piwigo)。


考虑到你独自管理它，你将需要适当地维护实例，并对你的数据进行备份。


如果你选择 [云托管选项](https://piwigo.com/pricing)（作为个人），定价从每年 **39 欧元** 开始，不限图片文件上传，如果你订阅 3 年，价格会更便宜。


![](/data/attachment/album/202203/24/103259cza2pxlmi2ziszgm.png)


个人计划没有提到具体的存储限制（无限）。因此，可以说你不应该有任何问题，除非你开始滥用该服务。


鉴于你在该服务中得到的控制权，大多数用户会更愿意使用云托管服务，而放弃像谷歌照片这样的服务。


企业/组织的定价计划将是昂贵的（每月）。然而，它支持企业的所有文件类型。

OK
**Brief:** *If you are moving away from Google Photos, Piwigo is an impressive open-source alternative with the ability to self-host. Let’s explore more about it.*

Google Photos is one of the most popular options to back up your photos and videos.

Considering that it is the default choice for most Android phones, it is a seamless experience managing photos/videos using Google Photos.

But, what if you want to move away from it for something open-source and more privacy-friendly? Not just from Google Photos, from proprietary photo hosting platforms overall.

Meet Piwigo, an open-source [photo management software](https://itsfoss.com/linux-photo-management-software/) to the rescue.

## Piwigo: Open-Source Photo Library That You Can Self-Host

![piwigo feature](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-feature.jpg)

[Piwigo](https://piwigo.com/) is an open-source solution to help manage your photos and videos.

You can choose to host it yourself, take control of your data, or opt for cloud hosting (**data stored in France, with backups**).

The company has its origins in France, if you are curious.

Not just for individuals, but Piwigo is also tailored for organizations and teams.

If you are worried about the privacy policies when you upload using Google Photos or similar services, Piwigo can be a brilliant replacement.

Piwigo offers a range of features and fine-grained control to manage your photos.

## Features of Piwigo

![piwigo album edit](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-album-edit.png)

While it is a viable alternative to mainstream services, it offers advanced capabilities for individuals and organizations.

Some features include:

- Get your dedicated subdomain with cloud hosting (*.piwigo.com)
- Ability to download in batch
- Create albums
- Select photos to assign existing album collections
- Share photos by link
- Access management with public and private mode
- Ability to group users to manage your albums or photos (effective for organizations/teams)
- Basic analytics to track your usage and storage used
- Supports adding tags to albums/photos
- Dark mode support
- Ability to edit the photo metadata
- Filters to quickly find a photo/album
- Support for JPG/JPEG, PNG, and GIF files (for individuals)
- Support for all file types (for enterprise use only)
- Unlimited storage for individual users
- Supports custom domain names (even for cloud hosting option)
- Plugins to extend functionalities
- Theme support
- Mobile support (Android and iOS)

In addition to the features mentioned above, you get additional options to improve the user management and the overall user experience with Piwigo.

![piwigo upload](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-upload.png)

I tested it for a quick overview using its cloud hosting option for individuals (**with a 30-day trial period**). Let me share some of my insights to help you understand them before you try.

## Using Piwigo to Manage Photos

When you sign up for an account, you get to specify your custom subdomain.

For instance, I have my test account on **ankushsoul.piwigo.com**.

![piwigo sign up](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-sign-up.png)

Anyone can access my publicly shared photos/albums by entering the above URL in their browsers.

So, it is better to keep the subdomain’s name as unique as possible. In either case, you can also restrict the albums/photos to logged-in users (or to yourself), where no one else can access your photos even if they know your subdomain.

![piwigo dashboard](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-dashboard.png)

You can head to its dashboard to check your storage usage and the overall activity.

There are two activated plugins, one for internal functionality and another to fight spammers by default.

![piwigo plugins](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-plugins.png)

You will find plenty of plugins to enhance batch management, enable admin messages, activate comments on albums, add expiration on your albums, limit downloads, and access to several exciting features.

It would be best if you took a moment to browse the available selection of plugins to evaluate how useful they can be compared to Google Photos.

Of course, you do not get this kind of control with any mainstream cloud photo hosting services.

So, it is well worth the exploration.

![piwigo config](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-config.png)

For the rest of the existing features, you can manage multiple users, control access, send notifications (via email), and also get to perform some maintenance activities.

Overall, the user experience is pretty good. It may not offer the most modern user interface, but it works and is easy to manage.

**Note**: The mobile experience (on Android) may not be satisfactory, considering the app available on the Play Store hasn’t received any recent updates. However, you can find the latest version APK file on their GitHub.

## Get Started With Piwigo

I think Piwigo is perfect for a range of individuals, starting from someone who wants to organize photos, to users who want to collaborate/share pictures for work.

If you choose to self-host it, you should check out its [documentation](https://piwigo.org/doc/doku.php) and explore the [GitHub page](https://github.com/Piwigo).

You will need to maintain the instance properly and have a backup of your data, considering you manage it all alone.

If you opt for the [cloud hosting option](https://piwigo.com/pricing) (as an individual), the pricing starts at **39 Euros** per year for unlimited image file uploads and will be cheaper if you get a 3-year subscription.

![piwigo pricing](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/wordpress/2022/03/piwigo-pricing.png)

The individual plans do not mention a specific storage limit (unlimited). So, it is safe to say that you should not have any issues unless you start abusing the service.

Given the control you get with the service, most users will prefer to use the cloud hosting service and ditch services like Google Photos.

Pricing plans for enterprises/organizations will be expensive (per month). However, it supports all file types for enterprises.
