Think I am getting carried away with self hosting (stock image library) (piefed.zip)

I have nearly every service imaginable running and have now started a new project.

I am creating a searchable stock photo archive for my lan. It has been a very interesting project but think i may have crossed the line into overkill lol.

I had hundreds of stock photo cds from the 90s I have turned them all into ISO's.

I then spent ages dealing with some strange cdrom layouts but got all the images off.

I then converted them all to JPG.

I have now setup a batch script that dedupes then takes the images in 2k batches, runs them through a ai vision model to add keywords and descriptions; as they have none.

They are then copied to a folder where I have photoprism running as the front end and I only have 4k done so far but they look amazing and the search and descriptions are really accurate and useful.

400k more images to go but at least it should all be automated now.

You can use Immich, it’s not perfect for this use case but it is searchable by content. You could just create a second account so you don’t even need to host an extra service

    Any chance you can upload your ISOs to archive.org?

    This is awesome!

    Personally I would have used TIFF and either Immich or ResourceSpace (a DAM - meant for this kind of thing, but also maybe more institutional than you want.)

    How do you do the AI tagging? That is something I need right now.

    Careful, once it's automated you won't be able to work on it anymore!

    This feeds into my ultimate project which I think will take me all summer.

    I plan to create a lan wide search that has kiwix, tube archivist, ubooquity, paperless, jellyfin, stock images and stash.

    Then I would have a unified search point and i think it would make kiwix far more usable by not having to go to the specific zim first. BBut, it is a tricky project as some things are nice and have api's others don't

    Are you a web designer, or how do you utilize 400k+ of stock images?
