Re: Self-hosted photo and video backups directly from your mobile phone
#42I prefer SyncThing on both mobile and desktop devices. It's open source and mature, the server only makes devices findable between each other. It allows 1 or 2 way sync. And it has advanced settings for keeping removed files (e.g. trashbin that cleans anything older than X days.)
+1 for SyncThing. It (now?) works effortless on my phone and having your screenshots and snapshots automatically on your NAS and PC to process them there is fantastic.
Didn't use the "rolling trashbin" feature yet but need to look into that

Are you using SyncThing on iOS?

#44I like the look of this. I'm currently using PhotoPrism[1] and PhotoSync[2] as a combo to get the same thing and whilst it works fine I've always thought a single app would be far better placed. Looks relatively straightforward to get running, pretty much inline with what I had to do in order to get PhotoPrism running in the first place. Only thing I couldn't see anything about was hardware acceleration, do leverage…
PhotoSync is pretty nifty where you can auto sync while charging at a location (ie home)

PhotoSync does not have autobackup for iOS last time I tried. Did this change?

Since this is upvoted so much, I wonder what people's complete setup is for something like this to replace, say, Google Photos. So once the photos are on a "server", what do people recommend for albums, sharing, metadata, geotagging, search, etc?

#47Do you want to get pwned?
Because this is how you get pwned.

Care to elaborate?

#49I'm using Synology Photos, have no complaints. Its really a good starter when decoupling from google photos, removing all subscription and taking control of my own data with expandable raid storage

AFAIK on iOS there's only Möbious Sync, which works well enough considering the restrictions iOS/iPadOS impose.
