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.

Nextcloud?

It's more like google.srive but with the gazillion plugins available I imagine you can make it do google photos too

You can self host immich on a device as small as a raspberry pi. Waveshare sells a CM4 board + enclosure + power supply for $36. You can get a 1tb 2242 nvme ssd for $99. And you can get a 4gb CM4 + 32gb emmc from adafruit for $65 (currently out of stock there, but you can keep an eye on rpilocator. some capable boards are available in Germany, but they're over $100). Not the cheapest setup, but if you're worried about power draw, spinning hard drives, and portability, this would be a way to do it. You could also just host NextCloud on it, but it might be a bit slow.

Immich is my personal favorite
