What are you using as a Google photos alternative? Currently I'm using Nextcloud but I'm thinking of switching to a more dedicated solution.

I mainly need to upload photos from my device automatically, have an UI to see and classify them, albuns and sharing.

I have a Synology NAS, and while their Synology Photos is really good, it's no match for Google Photos. It's not their fault though, any self-hosted solution is going to be harder to share photos and do collaborative albums and such. And Google Photos image and face recognition is just not matched. I backup my entire photo library to Synology Photos but most of them are also in Google Photos for ease of access and sharing.

    Google definitely has better face recognition. You can pick up a QNAP and put a Google coral and essentially do the same thing.

    I also run a 3rd party software that does the tagging. But it's annoying to do each time.
