Note: This setup is both for my android and pc Edit: For those recommending paid services and selfhosting, I don't have the money nor resources for either. Also it seams some people are confusing my android setup with my PC setup so I'll write it down. Android: Brave(movies) + Ironfox, Search: Brave + DDG, VPN: Proton ( not always on), GPay = Cash, Auth= Aegis Auth, Pass: KeepassDX, PC: Firefox= Librewolf, VPN = No VPN (VERY slow internet), Search: Searxng + DDG, Pass: KeepassXC,

Check out ente as an alternative to Google Photos. I've been using them since 2023 when Google announced they own your photos and they were going to be ~~instead~~ ingested into AI.

Edit: typo. Looks great BTW. Good progress.

I'm not using ente because they have a cloud storage, the only safe storage is the one you have

Fair! I could be held hostage in that way, but as a paying user, I (so far) trust them to use my subscription fees to pay for servers. I really like that all the ML processing happens locally, and they have no insight into any of my photos. I did look into Immich, but at the time, self-hosting was not an option as I was living in a developing country.

Edit: I was mostly looking at how a gallery app (which is also the one I use) isn't a replacement for gPhotos.

How about Immich then?
