Ask HN: What are your favorite tools for sharing/self-hosting images privately?

  • PogoPlug used to do this, but they folded. IIRC, they would give you a dynamic IP address so that you or others could access data on the device.

    Perhaps you could set up a photo server (software suggestions below) in house and arrange a tunnel (can't help you there) or run the server on a VPS and manage (http) access, presuming that's what the photo server software supports.

    This is a site that describes self-hosted photo albums: https://medevel.com/os-photo-collection-self-hosted/

  • I just use Flickr for keeping images that can be shared within close friends/family. Very old school but I love the annotation/note aspect of the Flickr. May be not very secure but good enough for my purposes.
