    I use weather&radar by wetter online GmbH on android, it’s free version is good, but worth the upgrade to remove the adverts and increase the zoom on map. Météobleu is very nice, and has beautiful animation, but It’s not all to my tastes.

    Why can’t you self host? I have a wordpress site, and everything is fine, I use noIP for a domain name and IP tracking. Everything is running on a raspberry pi 4, with 7TB of USB storage. Loading up the photos can be a little slow when we post a big adventure day out, but if you’re patient, or have the means to put a more powerful machine on the job, it is the best way to share your lives with family. Wordpress has an option to ask the search engine crawler to not index the website, and it seems to work. When I post to the blog, I have an email subscription list for all my family, who want to be notified of a new post.












  • You need to investigate owncloud, it is a self hosted cloud drive, think Dropbox, the pi is the machine in my house which is already internet facing, and has a wordpress blog running, with a domain name attached, so it made sense to use that. The owncloud android app sends all my photos and videos to the pi, and then when I am at my pc, the owncloud windows app pulls the files from the pi,so all files are synced. Once set up correctly, all of this happens without any manual intervention, and files are stored in 3 physical discs, my phone, my pi ext hard drive,and my PC. I also have an off site backup on oracle S3 Archive.


  • Sounds similar to my needs. My solution was a self hosted instance of own cloud on a raspberry pi 4 (nextcloud was good but too too many bells and whistles, and was unstable on my system). The owncloud android app automatically transfers my photos and videos, which are then automatically downloaded to my main PC. Important: This is not a backup solution, if I delete a photo from one instance, it will be be deleted on all instances. This system had physical redundancy, as all photos are on at least 2 separate devices at a time.
