After GoogleOne messed up the dates on 120,000 of my photos, I store them both on pCloud (EU) and locally (EU). I use digiKam but more importantly I’m working on creating a sustainable process for my photography workflow now.
Isnt Immich still not recommended for serious use due to its early stage in development? I’ve been waiting to switch to it - currently using Synology Photos for my photo management
I have been using Immich version V1.119.0 (recommended by a friend) and haven’t had issues with it.
FYI: You can also self host ente: https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/

Immich user. I do miss the memories thing from Google photos but I expect it’s coming eventually. All the data is there at the foundational level.
My only real immich complaints are
A. The android app gets chonky slow when you have a huge library.
B. S3-like storage isn’t a supported config, meaning you have to manage your storage size somehow. I want to point immich at a Hetzner object storage bucket, arrange mirroring that to another s3 like cloud service, and then forgetting about storage forever.
Immich has memories
I would love to be wrong on this, as I think even without this feature, Immich is one of the best options available.
That said, I am referring to this feature: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/2836
If it has something similar, then I’ll happily consider it. To me, this is one of the more advanced (and well-liked) features of a photo app, which is why I have it there to help differentiate.
Immich says it is in very actice development and should not be considered a complete and sole solution
And where is OP getting a “one-time fee” from? Maybe counting a donation request?

This is the first version, so I expect there to be a few mistakes. Please flag and provide feedback if you notice any improvements.
Discovered some fantastic options through this research. Hopefully this guide can help you!
Ente is also self hostable. https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/

I believe crypt.ee isn’t self-hostable, I haven’t found self-hosted options on their site and there is only “web-client” repo in their github (https://github.com/cryptee)
Edit: fixed typo

Thank you for the update!
Is this an ad for Ente? #digikam
Idk for photos in particular I don’t experience many drawbacks from just using two separate physical external hard drives (every photo is backed up to both).
I guess we have different definitions of cross-platform but I think it’s unfair to leave extcloud out of the diagram when it has a memories app as well as one for facial recognition. it meets all criteria except an iOS app.
It is there for facial recognition, but yeah it wasn’t included due to lacking iOS and Desktop app. I did make a note there as to what it was missing and that there is one soon to be released.
There’s a Files desktop app, which will sync photo folders as regular folders.
There is also fossify gallery and open camera
Any suggestions for an Android camera app that works nicely with immich?
I’m doing research on self-hosted solutions as we speak. Here’s a comparison table of many different options. I’ve settled on Immich and am just about to start setting it up now.
