I've tried a couple of self-hosted solutions to accompany my use of Google Photos in case Google ever decides to pull a stunt with Photos.
Nextcloud was basic, but serviceable. I liked that it handled docs, contact sync, etc. The sync was clumsy and I found updates frequently broke the system.
I just tried PhotoPrism with my ~75GB photo directory. The classification is.. decent and all run locally. It took around a full 24 hours to index and classify my photos, which it did reasonably well. Google Photos' classifications is miles better to be sure, but PhotoPrism was easy to set up and works pretty well.
I no longer expose any of my services outside my local network (besides Wireguard) so I'm hoping to find a Photosync system that will only upload when on my home wifi and charging. Any suggestions there?
Nextcloud is now pretty full featured google photos replacement as well with the Memories and Recognize apps. It will create face photo albums, tag images with objects, videos with activities, and audio with genre. Though not as good as Google. I've run it for maybe a year now and no updates have broken anything.
I don't use docs/contacts or even the official photo sync though, I just sync files through Foldersync on Android. That can easily be set to only upload on certain wifi.
