It's not that hard. I already work on a solution.
a few years ago I developed malidiary.net but now I develop a solution to host on your own server: http://owntools.de/index.php?id=1384105777.6149
It's not ready yet, but now that ohlife shuts down, I will speed up the development.
ever found this special christmas-picture you wanted to send to your friends, but actually the new year has just begun? So why not send yourself an email for next december? Add the picture as attachment and be suprised when you get back your mail several months later.
This app was created with the idea in mind that in most cases only the grandchildren are interested in the life story of the grandparents.
Sometimes it is too late by then or the options are limited to get the desired information.
Have you ever wished you had the time and skill to capture your life story or those of your family members?
Maybe you've thought about getting your own memories down on paper.
Use your voice and this interview-app to record your life story.

As I understand openphoto you still have to store your private photos on public cloud-services?
But if I have my own server I like to store them there. I feel better if I control who can access my photos.
Please describe what were your initial thoughts?
- Can I host a social network on my own server?
- what about privacy?
- what about security?
- are messages encrypted on client-site?
- is it possible for site-admins to read private messages between users?
- how far can I control my entries?
- who can see which informations?
- How can I leave the network?
- Can I transfer my data to another network?
- Is there an open api to connect from another application?
Things still in development:
- email-notify if someone comments on my pictures.
- user-management on my server
- buddylist
- keep a list of pictures from my friends I already saw
- see gallery-pictures in app
- add geoposition to pictures
The problem with showing this tools is that noone will enter his email-credentials on my site, or would you do that?
So the only way is to make the source public so everyone can install it on his own server.
It's not like Diaspora where you can create an anonymous account to test the system.
