Get the Monument device, attach as much external usb storage as you want and watch it do pretty much the same thing Apple Photos does but locally on the device. iOS and android apps.

Granted I suspect 90% of my tag usage is grand parents finding all the grand kid photos. It works really well with piwigo mentioned on another thread.
There is also Piwigo which is open-source and can be self hosted. https://piwigo.org/

I'm a fan, makes it super easy to go on vacation with family, suck in all the photos from 5 cameras, and tag them all. It's particularly good at things like select 2 weeks of photos, tag them with the vacation location, then pick ranges to tag bears, rainbows, avalanches, people, flowers, waterfalls, etc. Granted I suspect 90% of my tag usage is grand parents finding all the grand kid photos.

I didn't try option to write to metadata for compatibility.
Will have a look at piwigo.

I use DigiKam as well, under Windows 10. Recently the facial recognition has gotten better, and it's far less crashy than it used to be. I've got about 400,000 photos taking 650 Gigabytes.
