MODERATORS
Immich is leagues ahead of Photo Prism, but Photo Prism is definitely an alternative.
Setting up a server isn't difficult if you can follow a YouTube video. Are you looking to host it yourself at home? or through a hosted service?
Either way, you could find a YouTube video that is easy to follow along for setting this up with Docker if you're at all curious. If not, hopefully someone can answer your original question!
One thing to note about immich is that they use a proprietary file structure so you cannot just throw your existing pictures folder at it and have it non-destructively index them. It’s in their roadmap to change this behavior but for me it’s a deal breaker. I use photoprism and it works great for me.
I do believe they implemented a basic support for existing library in 1.63.0 release currently on 1.65.0. Though someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: pretty basic implementation but it's there.
I believe they added import functionality server-side, so you can throw your existing photos at it easily.
Oh cool, I may have to consider spinning up a container.
