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/

I've been using Ente Photos, and PhotoPrism and I've been liking Ente pretty well. Little bit more work to get things setup and going but I've been enjoying it for the last few months

What low-effort app do you recommended? I hate messing around with networking stuff, but I'm willing to build a home server, if that means I can finally get away from Google Photos. It must have HEIC support and a "memories" feature (where it automatically creates albums sends me notifications about what it wants to show me).

Probably be Ente even if it does take a little bit to configure it and get a web UI and stuff. PhotoPrism was easy for me to get up and running with Proxmox and the great community scripts to setup a container but having to have photosync is a drawback I don't care much for.

I believe both have something to like a memories feature

@Psythik @dogma11 I'm a bit of a broken record on this but #Yunohost is fairly low effort and allows you to get basic Nextcloud and a few other apps running fairly quickly.

Yunohost seems pretty good. I've only had experience with CasaOS as a self hosting framework.

I run all my stuff in Proxmox

@dogma11 I'm hoping to put #Promox on a Dell Optiplex Micro soon. I'm currently running Yunohost on Cloud VM and on a RaspberryPi locally. Looking at configuring backup at the moment and also seeing if I can work out how to do the config for #Zigbee2MQTT so that they can add that as a supported application.
