One recommendation for your home server is Immich [https://immich.app/]. I've got it running in a docker container and there is an associated android app for your phone. Every time I take a photo it automatically gets synced to my home server.
My research has been on surface level, but immich was one I was looking at. I'd like to try something without payment, but in the end, a safe place for all my kids photos would be worth it I guess.
You can install immich for free no payment required. The payment is just for people who want to support the very hard working immich devs.
