I would suggest you have a look of immich.
It also has mobile apps to do the backup and as a frond end on the phone. And what I really like is you can mount in your existing external libraries without copying all the pictures in and they will just be integrated automatically.
Usual precautions apply, the app does not bury the lede:
Good news is that it's slated to go stable some time this year iirc.
In keeping an eye on it. I use a rinky dink asustor solution for my photo storage and backups. It's cludgy as all heck.
I love that they clearly say that. IMO they should keep that notice around even later on.
Far too many people spin up some solution for photos or files, either selfhosted or some paid service, and use it as their only storage. Then they're surprised when data loss happens.
Yeah I'm no data retention expert but that is a huge risk.
+1 for Immich, I tried photoprism and had a lot of trouble importing and organizing an existing library. Immich works much more intuitively and had all the features I needed.
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll follow it up!
Immich has been great, I've been running it for something like 1.5 years now I think.
This is a pretty accurate summary from my experience. The only thing I'd add is that (from what I've read at least) some form of 'smart' album functionality is high on the priority list and shouldn't be too much further down the line. It may be a more advanced customizable logic type of solution (again from what I've read) but the functionality of putting person(s) 'x' into album(s) 'y' (or similar) should be achievable.
