Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

    And you don’t have your notification bar on the phone full of upload errors? Nextcloud doesn’t open 15 seconds on the computer? Can you get to older photos in under an hour, while Nextcloud slowly loads one thumbnail per second?

    It is really unbeleviable how there are some people for whom Nextcloud just works, and the rest of us.

    I gave up on my personal self-hosted instance a long ago, and at work we use commercially hosted Nextcloud and have to get a new account ~yearly because it slows down like Windows 95 when data accumulates.

      And, to offer something positive too: I like Photoprism, it’s very fast, browsing old photos just works with no extra delay, there’s search by date, location, tags, even face detection.
