Congrats! I’ve recently started the journey towards more decentralization and kagi seems to be the next logical fit. So far I’ve self hosted backups with s3 replication and next cloud over tailscale has been amazing but I’m still trying to figure out social media.
How does the workflow look like for sharing an album of pics with friends and family (who are on traditional social media platforms)?
If you don’t mind piping data through cloudflare, you can use cloudflare access + tunnel and a self hosted photo app of your choice (I use photo structure).
Cloudflare access will handle auth and can use family members’ gmail or popular emails for authentication. It will also do https for you.
If you want the data encrypted from cloudflare, I’d probably install tailscale on family members’s machine and do ACL. Friends are gonna be challenging
We just use whatsapp / dropbox / adobe bridge / icloud. Pretty transient, but in a way that's fine. My father is a photographer and makes a lot books, so we have tangible artefacts.
