Interesting tool based on blocks to tag any document for photos you own. With app to allow access from any device. Blocks contains tags and links between them to organize all like a heap.
I haven’t installed the self-hosted version yet to see how it can interact with an existing Obsidian vault. Next step.

So is this basically just another DAM system (but marketed more to end users/self-hosters?
There are FOSS DAM systems.
Tags aren’t categories you create — they’re patterns you notice.
Yes AI daddy 🤤
Sigh…
That stupid way of explaining the license plan aside, are we again having to explain that we don’t want our data locked into yet another db format?
Can’t really tell if that’s the case or not. It looks like the base files you upload are stored on the filesystem as normal, and the “blocks” (metadata) is what’s stored in the DB?
Yes, that’s what I get from that as well.
I guess as long as users get some options for import/export/backup then it isn’t that bad. I’m reading over the docs again and I don’t think it’s as bad as I initially read into it.
This project would benefit from some documentation curation.
Edit: which I suppose I could offer to help with to put my money where my mouth is.
Postgres? Sorry. If it needs a database, it’s probably not for me. Can’t be asked to keep another database backed up.
almost every self hosted service needs a database. and what “another” database? are you keeping separate postgreses for each service that wants to use it? one of the most important features of postgres is that it as a single database server can hold multiple databases, with permissions and whatnot
From previous interactions in this community, it seems all but obvious nowadays, when peoples’ experience with sysadmin in average amounts to running scripts running docker in some form.
