To me there are two good products: Immich and Ente. * Immich doesn't have end-to-end encryption, so I see it for self-hosting (i.e. on hardware I trust, typically at home). * Ente has end-to-end encryption, which means I can host it on a random VPS. Two different requirements for two different setups. E2EE adds some complexity, typically to set up a backup somewhere accessible. The fact that I have an unencrypted SDD next to my server at home that my family can grab and access photos is a feature to me: if I disappear I want them to be able to access them.
