Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I’m looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.
Edit: thanks for the many replies, I’ll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I’ll look into immich as well.

Photoprism, running on a Raspberry Pi 4. I’m just running it as a single user, and it’s been working well for that. A couple of notes:
I’m super not knowledgeable about codecs and shit, but IIRC there’s one that the rpi 4 is just garbage at dealing with. x265 I think it’s called?
There is an app activelly maintained unofficial android client and its great https://github.com/Radiokot/photoprism-android-client
Thanks for the heads up, I will check that out!
