I haven’t used it much if at all in the past year, but I finally took the last step and deleted it! Sorry if this is low effort I just don’t have anyone I know to share it with.

Is there a viable Photos alternative? I was thinking of setting up a NAS on my RPi but it would need to be for other family members too.
Ente it you’re looking for a paid service. (For me, photos are too important to self-host.) They’re end-to-end encrypted and both server and clients are open source.
For me it’s the other way round. My photos are too important to trust any corporation - no matter how trustworthy they say they are.
Do you do any hosting on the cloud? Thinking of cases like a fire or flood or something
No I follow the 3-2-1 rule which states that you should have 3 copies in 2 locations where 1 of them is remote.
In my case, the remote part is two external SSDs where I leave one with my parents and the other one plugged into my NAS which does automatic daily backups. When my parents come I swap them around.
TIL, thanks!
I second Ente, absolutely awesome products and great Devs always listening to feedback from community. Unlike other services and products, absolutely everything is open source to 🙌
Another vote for Immich. It’s a really nice experience on both the web and app.
Next cloud all the way. I run it in my garage and I grab the free Android app from fdroid

https://stingle.org, https://piwigo.org, and https://immich.app might be worth a look.
I used NextCloud, myself.

I am still uploading to Google Photos currently, but have setup a backup of my photos once a week using SMBSync2 on Android, to my Raspberry Pi NAS. I have two external hard drives connected to my pc, so when I login to my pc there are two automated backups that happen to copy anything newly added to the nas to the two hard drives.
The Proton Drive app can automatically sync pictures from your phone. The Proton ecosystem as a whole is a good alternative to Google’s.
