Photo library/management software (alien.top)

I’m slowly moving things away from Apple iCloud to my own private infrastructure.

The next thing on my list is photo management.

I currently have several Apple Macs, iPhones, iPads, and a Samsung/Android tablet.

I’m looking for a photo management software I can host myself (of course), but it needs to be integrate well on iOS/iPadOS. It would be handy if I could use the iPhone’s “save photo” functionality (which saves photos to the Apple Photos app) in order to save photos to the self-hosted solution. (Or perhaps a solution that automatically gets new photos from the Apple Photos app and transfers them into the self-hosted software).

It would also be useful if there is a way to run multiple photo libraries on the same device. For instance, I often take photos of family with my iPhone, but also take photos with the iPhone and the Android tablet of work things; it would be handy if I could put these into different libraries, preferably at the time of taking the photo.

Could anyone please recommend something suitable?

Thank you in advance.

Synology Moments

Synology Moments seems to be deprecated and replaced by Synology Photos… which as far as I can tell from previous testing, doesn’t have an option for saving an image to a specific library… or am I missing something?
