Hey community! I'm looking for a #selfhosted alternative to Google Photos for my family. I'm interested in something with an easy to use UI, automatic face tagging, multi-user support (including shared albums and, if possible, automatically sharing photos of designated faces), and a good mobile app that supports automatic syncing with device photos.
I think I've narrowed the options to #NextCloud Memories and #LibrePhotos. Does anyone have any experience with using either as a Google Photos replacement? Can you speak to how you like them, how you decided on them, or anything that might help the choice?

Dang, what a Thursday surprise: Home Assistant has released an application that seamlessly integrates with the HA platform and enables music playback from multiple streaming services (including a local media library or self-hosted music server) to multiple target devices.
I strongly suspect that in the next year, we'll see the Home Assistant team announcing their own, local-only smart speaker device: something that can integrate with Home Assistant, process spoken commands (using Voice Assistant), and play back music (using Music Assistant). It seems to be what the organization has been building toward.

The beauty of the open-source community of hackers and the Open Home Foundation's values of user choice is that whether or not HA puts out such a product, once the supporting pieces are in place, it also means anyone else could work toward that end. (Indeed, some of the entries in Home Assistant's recent community voice assistant contest were voice assistant satellites. Looking at the categories in that contest, it's hard not to see it as a bit of talent scouting for future plans.)
I have my fingers crossed for the polish that a professionally produced device might bring, but I also love that the pieces are there for an enterprising hacker to share open-source circuit board schematics and 3D printer files for DIY'ing a similar device, or for a well-known community content creator to make and sell their own device to fit that niche (à la Everything Presence One).
It strikes me just how much of a contrast this is with the closed ecosystems of... well, every other tech company today. God, it's refreshing.

I'm also running #nextcloud instance, but haven't tried Memories, so I can't really compare them.

•in the last 2 years I tried a lot of these alternatives to move from Google photos to a selfhosted software. Most of them did not match my requirements or I did not like the UI. I have Nextcloud so it was obvious to use Nextcloud photos. But this was nearly the worst experience, also because you need a separate app to get things work as needed. So I came to #Photoprism and stayed. I´m very very satisfied with it. Clear recommendation. Hope this helps you a little bit. 😉

•I‘ve looked for years for a suitable replacement for Google Photos, and this is the only one that is really even a replacement at all.
