I'm looking a for photo-storage option for the long-run.
Open-source is not a must, but nice. E2E encryption is not a must, but nice.
I just want to place to store, edit(?), categorize, search, share my photos. And I don't want to the place to be Google, Apple, or Microsoft. So, this does look interesting.
However, I also want to low-maintenance, low-cost, stable long-term solution. I value convenience.
What options should I consider?
Immich is a perfect photos app, and although still under heavy development it is quite polished already.
Low maintenance depends on your definition I suppose. As it's under heavy development you do need to often change the config with a new update.
But it has a Google Photos like interface, facial recognition and object/scene recognition and searchability (all of this is done locally on the server), etc.
What would be the best way to set it up on a raspberry pi, keeping in mind privacy & security?
Run the docker container rootless, password protect it, and don't expose it to the Internet? Pretty much applies to any Docker container.
