We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Bleeding-edge Self-Hosted Photo software in 2023? I'm talking AI-powered, Docker-friendly, open source, etc... (alien.top)

I found this list: https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries/tree/main

Which seems to be only a year old. I've also installed PhotoPrism and the jury is still out because there's gaping holes and issues I don't know if I can resolve.

My focus is not on storage or I'd just do NextCloud. I want all the bells and whistles. Good face detection, scene and object detection / TensorFlow, reverse geocoding with an API like MapBox, automatic album and filenames using machine learning.

I was really hoping there would be one obvious front-runner.

The situation is kind of disappointing, more like hopeless I'd say for power users. Photoprism is by far the best I've found too, but still isn't replacing Google Photos, where I still dump everything too, and I go there more often than not to find stuff. Of note about Google Photos is not only the uncanny face recognition, I have a person with pictures from literally 0 years old to I don't even want to calculate what age now, "driving age" anyway - but beside faces and things it also does OCR (text), which can be VERY useful. And it's also processing videos, too!
