When I was looking to replace my google tools, I couldn't find an easy to to alternative Google Photos. Things that were suggested like immich or Synology or ente required some level of technical know how or dedicated hardware. I ended up buying a Synology drive but I have issues with loading images/videos (it's extremely slow).

Today I stumbled upon https://stingle.org/

I haven't used it yet, but it looks like it might be a good option for anyone wanting to degooglify, but without all the extra fuffing around.

It also has a F-Droid distro!

Pricing starts at 1gb for free or 100gb for three bucks

If anyone get's a chance, let me know if it's really that good.

Immich is the only viable alternative, IMO.

Problem is, self hosted solutions require an investment into dedicated software. And even still, it doesn't work that well. As I said, my Synology Photos will load photos after a while, but videos is a whole different story. And it's not the internet connection in my case

I recently tried pikapods (https://www.pikapods.com/), they provide a pretty easy and stable way to run software like immich. The prices are reasonable as well, I’d say.
