Is there a co-op/open source cloud storage solution to replace Google or Amazon photos?

@dixongexpat for my own use i'm slowly cobbling together a hacky combination of git-annex, some scripts for making thumbnails + galleries, and a local NAS with the public stuff mirrored to my own site:

my friend tyler is working on a thing called git-photo:

@dixongexpat not that any of these ideas generalize very well to people less comfortable with shell scripts and hosting providers, but i sort of hope that distributed / federated sharing of this sort of thing will emerge.

for example maybe something like an https://ipfs.io/ backing store with some simple interface tools could be a flickr replacement.
