@gofireworks, @shortcake, and @JeremyT. Thank you all for the suggestion of Immich. This looks like the one. It looks like it's only been around since early last year which would explain why I didn't find it last time I looked for a replacement.
Immich works great, even though it is still under heavy development. Gets updated almost weekly with new features and improvements.
I use Nextcloud photos. It is far from perfect but it is OK. I hate lack of good Mobile App.
Check out Immich, it’s nearly a full google photos replacement
I'm liking nextcloud memories.
I'm still in testing phase. At the moment i am doing the traditional way. Manual sorting (assisted by digicam), synced on various pc via syncthing, then put a simple gallery via pigallery2.
But i like the idea of an automatic gallery where everyone in the family can automatically upload a la google photos. Immich can do that, but looks resource intensive.
Because I already have a nextcloud install, I enabled "nextcloud memories" and looks fine. I copied 5% of my gallery for testing and looks great.
I'm all in on Owncloud for now. But Immich looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for!
This was asked about a month ago on reddit. Obviously there are excellent alternatives, I personally use Immich and Nextcloud. If you are certain that you want Photoprism but don't want to pay, then you can just set PHOTOPRISM_SPONSOR: "true" in the deployment environment variables and it should unlock everything.
Is there any repercussions to be expected if you use that without really being a sponsor?
Other than that not being ethical and feeling bad about it.
I’m curious: what’s the use case for multiple users? Seems like PhotoPrism is a fancy photo gallery. Not sure how multiple users is needed for that.
What are the other basic features that aren’t available for free?
giving access to family, a shared gallery + private ones. It's the bare minimum. You know otherwise mom is calling "ah i lost my phone" - and the last backup was done in 2012 saved on some cheap DVDs with disc rot
You could also setup syncthing and backup the peer directory you know :).
