To me, this idea is very powerful.\n\n## WHY did I make this project?\nBecause I wanted to get rid of iCloud, Google Photos, Dropbox and other horrible, privacy nightmare cloud services.\u003cbr\u003e\nimg-DB is open source, offline, private, it doesn't upload your pictures anywhere (but you can, it's your pictures, do WTF you want).\n\n## WHEN did I start this?\nProbably in 2015, I started collecting all kinds of Python scripts for auto-renaming pictures, auto-resizing, converting, compressing, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe scripts became a mess and I decided to organize them into a proper project and also I was absolutely fascinated by the idea of creating smart folders from an archive.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe DB as HTML file was more like a debug feature initially, so I can see what I'm importing, but it looks like the LXML parser can easily handle tens of thousands of IMG elements instantly, so it became a core feature.\n\n## DISCLAIMER\nThis is my hobby project AND I have a *full time job* AND I have a family. In other words, I may not have time to fully support this project.\n\nAlso parts of the code are not sufficiently tested!\n\nHowever, issues and PRs are welcome!\n\n\n## Similar\n\n- https://github.com/novoid/filetags -- the original inspiration of this project\n- https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee -- photo management server written in PHP\n- https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism -- AI-powered app for browsing, organizing \u0026 sharing, powered by Go and TensorFlow\n- https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos -- self-hosted open-source photo management service in Python\n- https://github.com/zenphoto/zenphoto -- open-source gallery and CMS project\n- https://github.com/immich-app/immich -- self-hosted photo and video backup solution directly from your mobile phone\n- https://github.com/photostructure -- self-hosted, beautifully organized, and designed for rediscovering forgotten memories\n- https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Shotwell\n- https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gthumb\n- https://digiKam.org\n\n## License\n\n[MIT](LICENSE) © Cristi Constantin.\n\n\n[build-image]: https://github.com/croqaz/img-db/workflows/Python/badge.svg\n[build-url]: https://github.com/croqaz/img-db/actions\n[cover-image]: https://codecov.io/gh/croqaz/img-db/branch/main/graph/badge.svg?token=PR0PO1R23K\n[cover-url]: https://codecov.io/gh/croqaz/img-db\n[python-image]: https://img.shields.io/badge/Python-3.14-blue.svg\n[python-url]: https://python.org\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcroqaz%2Fimg-db","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcroqaz%2Fimg-db","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcroqaz%2Fimg-db/lists"}
