Ah, I see! This is more of a solution for viewing existing photos, it's not a fully fledged multi-user photo management solution.
If you had family members access and share photos via a file share though, you could use this to set up a common gallery that everyone could access via the browser.
It's mostly meant to run on a local NAS though.
No concrete plans for auth yet, but there's an feature request for this. I didn't really want to give a sense of false security with a half-baked solution.
For uploading, I thought about it briefly and it could be interesting. How would you expect it to work?
I imagine you would configure a sort of a target folder structure, then it would dump all uploads based in that structure? Or fully managed like GPhotos/Immich where the app hashes, dedupes and owns the files directly? 🤔
