Good news is that it’s slated to go stable some time this year iirc.
Comment on PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently?
apfelwoiSchoppen@lemmy.world 1 month agoUsual precautions apply, the app does not bury the lede:
The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos!

In keeping an eye on it. I use a rinky dink asustor solution for my backups. It’s cludgy as all heck.

I love that they clearly say that. IMO they should keep that notice around even later on.
Far too many people spin up some solution for photos or files, either selfhosted or some paid service, and use it as their only storage. Then they’re surprised when data loss happens.

Yeah I’m no data retention expert but that is a huge risk.

Yes, I tried Immich but it’s basically a second job, no thanks. Photoprism is very good, but would need something like Syncthing to auto upload. So I ended up going with Libre Photo. It’s nowhere near as powerful as Immich in terms of features, but for my over 500K photos and almost 50K videos, works like a charm in ProxMox with the “UhuruPhotos” Android app.

Photoprism’s app space is pretty bad, but there is an completely hacky yet reliable solution for Android:
photoprism importcommand every few minutes.Since I’ve had this set up, it’s worked as well as Google Photos ever did for keeping my phone snaps synced to the server. It’s been more reliable than SyncThing for my data, reacting and syncing faster, and it doesn’t mysteriously periodically just stop running like SyncThing.
I don’t know if PhotoBackup is available for iOS, but if it is, it works a treat.

Sweet. Never heard of this before. Thanks. I’ll take it for a spin over the weekend.
