What are some google photos alternatives? I’m aware of Ente (not European), crypt.ee and zeitkapsl (saw someone mention it uses google apis). Also don’t fancy going down the self-hosting route for the moment.

    I’m self hosting Immich. I honestly get much better results from their search than I do from Google photos. It’s not quite as mature, but it’s definitely good enough!

      I searched my Immich instance for ‘Camera obscura’ because I knew I had a picture of one that I took years ago, but had no idea when… and it found it. Not sure Google would have been that good

        I run it off my Home Assistant. The images are stored on my Western Digital MyCloud EX2 Ultra (which is kinda crap, but works) on a RAID1 volume, which is mirrored onto a similar NAS in the other end of the house. Ideally it should be off-site, but I haven’t been able to find a good spot yet.
