    Photoprism, running on a Raspberry Pi 4. I’m just running it as a single user, and it’s been working well for that. A couple of notes:

    • Video transcoding is a bit iffy on the rpi, but I’m running it under docker and might just move it all to a mini pc at some point
    • I don’t have it accessible publicly, but get to it online via Tailscale
    • No app, but the Web interface is good.
    • I’m currently running it in “read only” mode (mainly out of initial paranoia when trying it out, but it seems fine) so I have syncthing backing up the photos from my phone wirelessly and occasionally do an import of new images in.


  • Same setup here. I’ve got a really basic script running nightly from cron. B2 is cheap as, and having an encrypted backup that’s versioned is great for piece of mind.

    At one point I was away from home and my (little rpi) server wasn’t accessible, but with the restic repo up on B2 I was able to easily find a file I urgently needed remotely. It’s awesome.
