InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
> How does one migrate to this from Google photos?
You can export your data from takeout.google.com, and drag and drop the output folder into web.ente.io.
> How does one share across the family?
Currently we don't have family plans yet. Existing customers are sharing the same account with their partners. This is on our roadmap and we will ship it soon.
> Is it possible to have a local backup?
Our desktop app[1] has an option to sync your uploaded data to a local disk drive.
> categorizing, tagging, labelling, albums, comments/notes, geotags, stories.
We already have albums and stories. All the other features you mentioned apart from "comments/notes" were already on our roadmap. I've just added "comments/notes" too to it[2].

There are a couple of other ways to mitigate the problem for web applications. If you're willing to install a browser extension, then it might make more sense to use the Signed Pages extension[0] which applies PGP signature checking to web pages. The other solution is to use Secure Bookmarks[1], which combine SRI integrity hashes with Data URIs to ensure that a fixed bundle of JavaScript is running in the page.

Since passwords aren't transmitted in plaintext, this vulnerability would only affect the web client (and only if its code wasn't authenticated). The solution is something similar to the Signed Pages extension by the developer of EteSync:

Alternatively, the entire web client can be packaged as a web extension, which is what Mega is doing:

I just set up PhotoPrism myself this week! With it being completely self-hosted, this isn't something I'd be comfortable asking someone non-technical to do.
I like that it is self hosted, it also uses TensorFlow to classify images so you can perform keyword searches e.g "museum". It doesnt appear to be as good as Google Photos though, e.g in GP you can search "vaccination card" and it does what you expect which is very impressive.
Face detection is currently under heavy development also, which is very exciting: https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/22
There are certainly things that are missing, but I'm okay with the tradeoffs for now in the hope that it will eventually improve.
i have one myself and i would say its the best out of all the alternative nas's out there. you pay a bit extra but its worth it considering how easy it is to setup. i also paid a bit more extra for the plus model so i could run docker which in turns gives you a huge selection of other apps over the built in apps or the synocommunity apps

I migrated my photo collection to https://github.com/jpsim/AWSPics about a year ago, pretty happy with it (so much so that I ended up contributing a number of features and bug fixes back to it). Basically all you have to do, after the initial setup, is an S3 sync to upload new photos, and a gallery web site and resized thumbnails get generated automatically.
All private, you configure usernames and passwords. The ongoing cost is just that of S3 standard / infrequent-access storage, which for my collection of ~50GB is currently costing me about ~$1/month. In terms of the auto-generated gallery (lambda function that traverses an S3 bucket) and the password-protection (CloudFront Origin Access Identity), you're locked in to AWS. But in terms of the data, you by definition have all the files in a simple folder tree on your local disk too, you can back it up wherever else you want, you can migrate it elsewhere quite easily. And AWSPics itself is open-source.
