For those who want to keep using their Apple devices, I highly recommend Nextcloud as an iCloud Photos alternative. I've been running an instance of it on a little Pine64 for quite some time now without any issues.
Though I'll still the say the crux of the issue is that the majority of users _won't_ have iCloud Photos disabled, and thus have their privacy violated.
- kwerk 5y agoHow large is your photo library / how would you compare NextCloud photos to Apple Photos? I'm starting with testing Synology Photos which has at least basic local people tagging (a must with small kids). Feels like a big tradeoff with all the self-hosted options. I've heard NextCloud is slow. PhotoPrism looks awesome but no mobile client (yet) which makes family adoption tricky.
- prophesi 5y agoI'm using mine as a general cloud storage alternative as well, so it's using a little over 1TB. About a quarter of that is photos. So not too huge, considering they're saving at full resolution. Nextcloud has https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/facerecognition https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/facerecognition which integrates with their CardDav, but I don't think my Pine64 with only 2gb of RAM would be able to run that.
