Photos alternative with good recognition / search? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Slowly but surely trying to de google my life, but Google Photos is a hard one. I have a kid and seven pets, and I've come to rely on Google Photo's search abilities to actually find anything I want to see in the hot mess of disorganized photos.

I tried a trial of Ente and filled it up to the free limit with pics. It was able to recognize my toddler in THREE photos, no one else. I don't know how many or which photos are backed up because it doesn't seem to show them separate from my un-backed up ones. It doesn't learn to recognize pets as far as I can tell.

I'm too tired to learn to self host just to use Immich, even though I've heard good things, ha.

Not stable yet according to the devs but there is Immich.Lot of folks seem to think it’s stable enough though.

Only a sample size of one here, but I've used it for quite a while now and it's definitely one of the more stable and reliable apps I self host. It's a delight.

I installed immich on a rasperry pi 4 with docker a few days ago. Works quite well. The context search option really impressed me. I didn't expect it to work at all on a pi.

One of these days I'll have the bandwidth to learn about self-hosting. It seems like there's some real benefits and cool stuff out there. For now, I have a toddler taking up most of said bandwidth as well as copious amounts of photo space 😅
