Any good alternative for Google Photos? (programming.dev)

I'm looking for a solution that satisfies:

  1. Open source, or partially open source.
  2. Have good privacy practice. Even better if I can get away from 5 Eyes or 9 Eyes.
  3. Have an application for Android that supports auto-sync.

Self-hosting is also an option, but I would prefer a lightweight setup. I checked Immich requirements, but it requires 2 CPU cores and 4 GB memory, which costs way too much if I want to host it on my AWS.

Thanks for the cool option. But I just checked, and it seems like there's no way I can set up a QuickConnect ID without a real Synology hardware. I'm a nomad so buying a physical Disk Station is not my preference.

There really is nothing close to Google Photos outside of Synology. And it's not 100% in terms of search but it's getting there.

You can run the Synology software via a loader on commodity hardware or on a hosting platform provided the platform supports VMWare ESXi or the like.

You can use your own domain instead of a quickconnect id.
