photoprism VS photos-app

Photoprism does indeed have features that are added under a subscription. All of the functionality is the same, subscribing just adds customization to your interface, and it allows unlimited reverse geocoding (otherwise, it is rate-limited, according to the documentation). There is a limit to the maximum resolution as well. No reason why you can't use the product for free, however.

Was looking at an old thread on this, https://photoprism.app/features was a suggestion you haven't gotten in this thread yet.

I started using Photoprism instead a couple years ago and have been quite happy with it so far. I'd recommend looking into that project. Their roadmap is here. Memories like you asked is in there, but I doubt it's coming anytime soon as it seems they have other priorities and a very small team.

* They have the community version/premium model. Differentiators of premium (from https://photoprism.app/features):

PhotoPrism has a bunch of photo management features, but it's self-hosted so you'd have to run it yourself at home or on a VPS.

Is Photoprism in the ballpark of what they might be looking for? They have a demo that you could try searching for the metadata you'd plan to use.

Have you seen Photoprism? It does some of the things you're saying. Organization is in a dated hierarchy, then you search from there. As far as editing, I guess you could try mounting the WebDAV and importing that to your library. Could probably also network mount the /originals/ directory from the NAS and then simply import the sidecar files generated. Apparently, multiple users feature is coming soon, until then the admin account could be used like a shared account.

You could put something like Minio (https://min.io/) for syncing via S3 and Photoprism (https://photoprism.app/features) for sharing / tagging on the VPS. Look into Docker to ease the pain of hosting / configuring services on a server. The downside is that you still have to manage the VPS, plus pay for the hosting and the domain name. The upshot is that this adheres to "freedom" and keeps your home network secure.

The format isn't natively supported on mobile, but we can transcode and render them. We have created an issue to track this: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1269

Hey, we've added an item to our roadmap to configure a lockscreen different from the system lockscreen: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1240

Hey, this is already on our radar: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1226

Hey, not sure how popular this feature will be, since all your metadata is end-to-end encrypted and only accessible to you, but have added this to our roadmap anyway: github.com/ente-io/photos-app/issues/1219

We don't automatically sync media movement from the device to ente, as users might have already organized their media on ente, possibly on a different device. However, we understand that this could be a valuable feature, perhaps as an album-level configuration. We've added this to our roadmap.

Hey, we recently added support to playback Motion Photos to our Flutter app.

We also wrote a guide to set it up. Our code is open source, so you can easily refer to the crowdin config and GitHub action config.
