Was looking into the same thing this week! Currently exploring the following options:
PhotoPrism: https://www.photoprism.app/
NextCloud photos/memories:
https://demo.memories.gallery/apps/memories/
DigiKam:
https://www.digikam.org/about/features/
I'm currently leaning towards NextCloud, but mostly because I also need to replace my old NAS
What I'm looking for mostly is search. Like, really good search. Object recognition, all the metadata, etc.
I want to be able to find all the pictures that have a banana in it that I've shot in 2021 with my Canon EOS 5d Mark II, and I want to find them in 5 seconds, typing a single query.
Google Photos used to be good for that, but it isn't anymore. Object recognition got worse and worse as the woke overlords restrict everything and most queries return zero results now.
Can confirm Photoprism will be able to find all your "banana" pics 😜 shot with a Canon 5D in a single query
