Wow. I've only just started testing it against GP, but it's really slick and works really well. Lots more fine control than GP, and the only thing that isn't quite as good is the photo editing on the app and web site, and that is on the roadmap. Oh, and I can't see how to set up TLS but I might just be missing something.

This is self hosted right? I would be afraid of a disk dying and losing all my photos. That happened to my Plex NAS.

Always have at least 3 copies of any important data. Follow the 3-2-1 rule.

Data loss can happen due to so many reasons, the only safe option is reliable and tested backups.

To expand on the 3-2-1 rule for the uninitiated:

3 total copies

2 onsite, using dissimilar media

1 offsite, for disaster recovery

I use SyncThing to monitor and copy my photos to an (encrypted, offsite) drive.

Raid and off-site backup.

Or trust in a hosting provider that has backups and redundancy.
