photoprism VS photoview

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.

Most lightweight one I've found so far: https://photoview.github.io/

I looked at a bunch of these 2 years ago and ended up using PhotoView for a private gallery. It had the right mix of simplicity and features, and I was actually able to get it running.

Take a look at Photoview: https://photoview.github.io/ . I think that it will fit all your needs (or at least, most all of them)

I use Photoview with Nextcloud, because I like its UI more than Nextcloud.

I can suggest 3 options. * Photoview - It is like a gallery with recursive folder structure (folders inside folders) support. You can create shareable links for the folders, with password protection. The UI is great. And your clients will be able to download the complete folder, also individual images at either full resolution or reduced. The issue is you cannot use the UI to add or delete photos, but it can be a great thing for security and stability. * Chevereto - It is more like imgur. You upload all the files using the UI and create albums and their sharable links. I do not think if it supports videos at all. * Nextcloud - Another great option if you want to give your clients a Google Drive or a Dropbox like experience. You can create custom links, like example .com/client-name, which can look more professional. For better videos experience you'll need hardware acceleration.

I have tried A LOT of solutions and I finally stopped after using Nextcloud and Photoview. I synchronise files from my computer to Nextcloud using rclone and view them on Photoview whenever I need. You can sync to you nextcloud using their official app on phone. I use Photoview because I have not found a single self-hosted solution that keeps the folder structure and lets me view them as both, in folder structures as well as in a chronological timeline.

Bl4ckB1s3ct0r gave the right answer - Photoprism and Immich can be considered as open-source alternatives of Google Photos. Another one is Photoview.
