Personally I use Photoprism installed inside TrueNAS Scale. They don't have a good mobile app that syncs with the NAS. So might try Immich in future.
I'll be interested to see what else turns up here.
I use FileBrowser to autosync the photos off my phone, and family can easily access them because they already know how to use Plex. The fact that there is a client for every device I have ever used is icing on the cake.
If you have a plex server, obviously a very big if, worth investigating just turning it on for a folder of files since it doesnt write to the images itself by default.
I had a similar issue and wanted a "Google Photos" like product. So a web-interface with a time-based list and an phone-application that automatically back-ups. I'm currently using Synology Moments/Photos which comes for free with a Synology NAS. I've recently been on a trip with random strangers sailing on a boat and I could easily request the others' photos, import them in an album and share it with the rest of the…
It can be a bit of a pain to setup but once it’s up and running you can run all synology apps, including photos and even their nvr software, backup your home pcs to it, etc. If you pass through pci sata controllers you can bypass any disk virtualization layer and let synology manage raw disks exactly like a metal install in one of their nas machines would do. You could even swap the disks into an official nas later on if you wanted. The synology apps are highly polished and worth the setup imo.
There’s also a docker image that makes it all trivial, but it’s too many layers of abstraction for my tastes[2]

I use Synology Photos to back up to my Synology NAS in the basement: https://www.synology.com/en-global/DSM70/SynologyPhotos It has mobile apps that back up photos automatically. My wife and I each have the iOS apps running and photos just upload magically to the NAS. Viewing photos is a good experience too. I also use another Synology app to back up my photos from my NAS to AWS Glacier. Super happy I moved them from…
If you're going down the "self-hosted" path, Synology will be the answer a lot of the time. All your music and videos, etc. There's even a Google Docs-like office suite.
I'm have kiwix on mine via docker and have self-hosted Wikipedia.
UI is good. Sharing is good. no real problems.

It allows me to stick to shotwell for the actual collection management, while still letting me share events or the entire collection to friends and family.
