For quite some time now, i have been working on and off on a fully self-hosted search engine, in hope to make it easier to search across Personal data in an end to end manner. Even as individuals, we are hoarding and generating more and more data with no end in sight. Such "personal" data is being stored from local hard-disks to corporate controlled cloud-centers which makes it distributed in nature. So for following discussion, "Personal" meaning would be flexible enough to accommodate resources on a remote server and/or on different devices, as long the user could prove authentication and/or authorization to that data. Current implementation supports only "images", but eventual goal is also to support other modalities like video, text and audio, some code would be shared, while some new code would be required to better extract Features for each modality.
Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come
