I have nearly every service imaginable running and have now started a new project.

I am creating a searchable stock photo archive for my lan. It has been a very interesting project but think i may have crossed the line into overkill lol.

I had hundreds of stock photo cds from the 90s I have turned them all into ISO's.

I then spent ages dealing with some strange cdrom layouts but got all the images off.

I then converted them all to JPG.

I have now setup a batch script that dedupes then takes the images in 2k batches, runs them through a ai vision model to add keywords and descriptions; as they have none.

They are then copied to a folder where I have photoprism running as the front end and I only have 4k done so far but they look amazing and the search and descriptions are really accurate and useful.

400k more images to go but at least it should all be automated now.

You can use Immich, it’s not perfect for this use case but it is searchable by content. You could just create a second account so you don’t even need to host an extra service

Might be worth a try.

The thing that has surprised me the most is how good this AI model is at accurately knowing what is in a picture when the model itself is only 3GB in size.
