Best self hosted photo manager for multi user (midwest.social)

My wife is using Google Photos, and I've been using Photoprism for a few months. I just had a baby, and I access to download the pictures that my wife takes. I'm not too sure of what I want. I guess I want two separate libraries, but I want to be able to view her pictures easily and add them into my library. I believe if I spin up a second photoprism instance, I'd have to download her pictures individually and reupload them into my instance.

What do any of you do? Do you even host photo storage for your family?

Nextcloud would probably work as well

I would not trust Nextcloud tbh, the update process is wayyyyy too unstable.

I don't use it for my photos because of the UI but the update process has been rock solid for the last couple of years since I moved and started uaing their snap. It updates itself automatically withot any of my interaction and never breaks.

Using bare metal install? I always cried when I had to apply updates, but now that I moved on the docker image , I don't get problems when updating (knocking wood)

That's more difficult on my unraid server and I hear immich is better suited for the job anyway so I'm looking to try that

omg I didn't know if it was just me but I have the worst luck with Nextcloud updates. I've had to restore from backup like 6 times in the 4 years that I've been running an instance.

With a very small library it's fine using the "memories" app, but I noticed in my experiments that adding thousands of pictures is a miserable experience
