Is there a viable Photos alternative? I was thinking of setting up a NAS on my RPi but it would need to be for other family members too.
Ente it you're looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They're end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.
For me it's the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.
Do you do any hosting on the cloud? Thinking of cases like a fire or flood or something
No I follow the 3-2-1 rule which states that you should have 3 copies in 2 locations where 1 of them is remote.
In my case, the remote part is two external SSDs where I leave one with my parents and the other one plugged into my NAS which does automatic daily backups. When my parents come I swap them around.
TIL, thanks!
I second Ente, absolutely awesome products and great Devs always listening to feedback from community. Unlike other services and products, absolutely everything is open source to ๐
I use immich personally, super easy to use and very fast, even on the shitty old laptop I use.
Edit: the shitty old laptop is hosting the server
Another vote for Immich. It's a really nice experience on both the web and app.
The Proton Drive app can automatically sync pictures from your phone. The Proton ecosystem as a whole is a good alternative to Google's.
On that note tho, I kinda hate how this is only offered for photos. Why can't I sync any folder I want?
Next cloud all the way. I run it in my garage and I grab the free Android app from fdroid
I recommend Immich

https://stingle.org, https://piwigo.org, and https://immich.app might be worth a look.
I used NextCloud, myself.

I am still uploading to Google Photos currently, but have setup a backup of my photos once a week using SMBSync2 on Android, to my Raspberry Pi NAS. I have two external hard drives connected to my pc, so when I login to my pc there are two automated backups that happen to copy anything newly added to the nas to the two hard drives.
