Self hosted solution for phone photo backup (sh.itjust.works)

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/

Like everyone is saying, Immich.

But keep an eye on updates because it is under active development so breaking changes tend to happen every once in a while.

Does Immich auto update / breaking changes?

[–] Crassus@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

On itself it doesn't auto update, you do get a notification in the app if your server is outdated.

You can setup watchtower or something similar to update it but it is discouraged due to the active development

Does Immich auto update

Only if you auto-update the docker images on your server.

There have been a few breaking chances, but it just takes a minute to tweak the compose file and it's up and running again.

[–] tabular@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Apparently docker images must be manually updated, so currently I don't. Thanks for the info.

[–] HeavyRaptor@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The server doesn't, except if you have watchtower or something similar.

The app auto updates on your phone though, unless turned off.

[–] tabular@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn. I think a few updates have happened on the App but not seen an issue yet. Guess I'll update the docker image when an app update does break it - family don't use it often and I don't want to manage their phone updating the app.

Luckily the app is generally (but not always) backwards compatible. It'll just nag you to upgrade the server.
