What are you using for storage? ZFS?
FOSS Friday: Immich
Move over Google Photos and Apple iPhoto, there's a viable self hosting solution in town and it's called Immich.
I've been using Immich for a while. It's fairly easy to setup, if you have a home server or use one of the "Bitcoin node OSes". I use the docker container version and it works well.

If you're looking to ditch Google and Apple for your photos and videos, please remember that storage devices have a 100% failure rate. You need to have good backups. And you need to test them.
I backup my data locally at home and then I remote backup to my parent's house. It's my own private cloud. 🤣
