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 set up Immich a week or so back. It’s been a dream so far. The object recognition is really way better than expected. The App works really well.

    I used this script to import my Google Photos dump. https://github.com/simulot/immich-go

    I can’t say I used every possible feature of Google Photos but I haven’t missed anything yet!

        External libraries do this, but fwiw when I tested Immich I ended up with a ton of missing thumbnails in my external library and there seemed to be no way to detect and repair them. That was a deal breaker for me and I went back to Photoprism. Immich looks really great though other than that.

      Set Immich up a couple weeks ago and I’m surprised how good it is. Their docs included a simple cli tool to bulk import all my Google photos. Mobile app is working great. I’m really impressed with the search too.
