I wonder how this will perform when you have tens or hundreds of thousands of photos.
There's no reason why the lessons learnt here couldn't be incorporated into an OS project.
I am looking for a solution like this, can folks with experience comment on their experience with this(LibrePhotos) NextCloud or alternatives. Aspects that I think are important include the community of maintainers in addition to the current state of functionality
Maintenance has been zero, aside from when I want to add functionality.
My only feature gripe is that gPhotos has a wonderful "archive photos" feature to delete local copies of media already uploaded. You can still see uploaded photos (thumbnails stay local) and any interaction with them stays "as if local", there's just a delay while it downloads a temporary copy. I wish nextcloud had this capability.
On a side note: I’m eager to see how much support for non-x86 architectures will grow with the introduction of the M1 chip.
while this seems more featurefull, I wonder if I'd use them.

I'll test this out and report back.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've used Nextcloud. Auto-upload from your phone is nice, but I haven't found a way to share arbitrary groups of photos except by copying them into a folder and sharing the folder. Also, thumbnail generation is slow and I haven't put in the time to try to speed it up. I haven't used PhotoPrism, but wanted to toss it out there as an alternative.
https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator This builds the thumbnails in the background. I think it used to get triggered on upload but says it needs a cronjob now. Works OK on a folder of 40GB of photos. What I still find irritating about photos in nextcloud is I keep mine in high resolution but nextcloud won't downscale them to fit the viewing device screen, so I use 20mb a photo with all the UX impairment on…
Yes, I have no idea what they don't do this. This makes the gallery barely usable.
When publising curated photo-sets myself (https://notabug.org/mro/Photos2Atom and rather sacrifice features but long-term robustness and installability.
