Immich is by far the best and most convenient.

As we used to say.
Immich all the way my dude.
Thank you all for the responses! I will take look into Immich and if maintenance is too much of a hassle I might try out Ente!
I use Photoprism, mainly because it seems stable so far, and it's good enough for my needs
Everyone seems to love immich, but I found the rapid development cycle combined with the version incompatibilities annoying.
Ente is seeming like a nice alternative so far and will hopefully be lower maintenance.
I think Immich has grown out of the most difficult upgrades now. Most changes now are just removing lines from the stack.
+1 to immich
However, because of the fast dev cycle, it has a lot of breaking changes, and needs regular maintenance (most notably for me, postgres docker changes. Especially if you are not giving it it's own postgres instance and using their provided docker compose.)
You could stay pegged to a single version, but the mobile app also doesn't have full backwards compatibility with server versions, which results in a slew of other problems (how do I do a fresh install of an older app version on a new device?)
But if you are willing to keep up and perform semi-regular maintenance, immich is great, and the rapid dev cycle means more new features faster!
Luckily all of the changes so far have been super easy and quick, they're very good about posting detailed info on what to change.

Immich
I'm a noob, I started 2 months ago with immich and tailscale. Now I have an unraid server, it's a slippery slope.
I tried Immich but did not like it, its also been sold so who know what will happen there. I have been using Nextcloud and loving it
It wasn't sold, it's being funded. There's a big difference. And the group behind the funding is a huge supporter of FOSS. They're gonna be "selling" immich licenses soon, but they're also going to keep all the source code open and available for anyone to download, modify, or use however they want.
The owner of the name and repo has changed hands in exchange for money, and is now going to be pushing licences to use it. You can say that is not "sold" if you like, but its the same to me.
It literally didn't. Read about it and stop spreading misinformation. The deal is essentially like an investment. The developer still maintains full autonomy on the projects direction and leadership. All FUTO is doing is providing them stable income so they can work full time on developing the project.
It’s not misinformation. I hear what you’re saying, and that this whole Futo thing seems like it should be net positive, but it was sold.

This isn’t a good argument for Immich not being sold, because this is the exact description of what private equity firms do.
