UhuruPhotos
A self-hosted Photos & File Management app you can run on your own server.
With UhuruPhotos, you get a self-hosted file and photo management application that lives on your own server, under your rules. Because it runs on infrastructure you control, your data stays with you and there is no subscription required to keep using it.
Its public repository on GitHub currently shows 403 stars, a useful signal of community interest. Repository activity was last recorded on Aug 2, 2025, and the project is classed as quiet / legacy in our snapshot. It is listed as a companion app — a tool that extends or helps you manage a self-hosted service rather than replacing it. It is available for Android.
Before you switch
File and photo tools hold irreplaceable data, so plan backups before you migrate. Test the mobile auto-upload with a small album, confirm how duplicates are handled, and make sure you understand where files are stored on disk — plain folders are easier to rescue than opaque databases.
Like every project listed on SelfHosted, UhuruPhotos is developed in the open — you can read the code, follow development, and even contribute. Check the system requirements and the project’s own documentation linked on this page before installing.
