My partner and I have accumulated a lot of memes and a lot of family photos over the years. I would like to host these so they are accessible via various devices. I’m doing the memes first and once I figure out the software better I’ll move on to vacation photos. I had no problem getting Immich and Photoprism up and running. Both are very impressive programs, but both also are missing the ability to search/filter/sort by star rating. A lot of my memes and vacation photos are rated in their metadata as I never delete anything, I just rate the worthwhile ones higher so I can filter the junk out if we’re showing someone the album. My visitors don’t need to see all 10 distant dolphin pictures, just the good one where it’s jumping out of the water. :D

Immich sees and can edit star ratings, though there is no search/filter/sort functionality and Photoprism doesn’t seem to work with star ratings at all and uses the star the way Immich and Google photos use the heart.

My question is this:

Can anyone recommend a hosted alternative that implements star ratings completely and has an app or built in web server making it usable on desktop Linux, iOS, and Google-free GrapheneOS? It looks like Immich is slowly moving this direction and I can already see that this will be the best long term solution, at least for the family photos, but I want to set up something in the short term, especially since I have no idea what their feature timelines look like or how accurate they are.
