Hello everyone!

I'm currently looking to self host some photos to get my girlfriend off of Google Photos. I'm wondering what has been good in your experience.

I never thought about self-hosting the before but a LTT video (I'm sorry) popped up in my feed and I got curious.

I looked into Ente.io and PhotoSync so far but unsure if there are any better options. Also saw that LibrePhotos exist but I haven't looked into it yet.

What are you using? Have you had any issues? Missing features etc.?

I'm scared to these 'breaking changes' even though I'm not exactly a self hosting newbie. That's because I don't have a proper 3-2-1 backup and I'm afraid I might lose my photos or settings. I've been exploring of setting up immich through a homeserver management tool like runtipi that allows taking backups separately that can be reverted to, in case something goes wrong. Anyone aware of any negatives about that?
