Hey yall, I want to get into self-hosting. I want to start from hosting on a raspberry pi, and I am just wondering if yall have any recommendations (I've never hosted anything before, but have experience in linux and programming). Sorry if it's bit of a stupid question.

I haven't found anything software-wise (self-hosted or SaaS) that I'm satisfied with for photos. Thankfully, those are easy enough to backup and aren't used day-to-day. What have you tried, and do you like/dislike of each?

At first I tried some self hosted solutions but I didn't like anything, eventually I landed on ente.io/ which I really like.

It has a lot of ways to import your photos, really nice mobile and pc (windows, Linux, and Mac) apps that can automatically upload your pictures in the background, the devs are really responsive (there was a bug with one of the importers so I opened a ticket and I got a lot of help in order to debug the issue and solve it).

The only thing that I don't love is that while the clients are all open source, the back end isn't because they claim they are too small of a team to keep it both open source and secure.

Have you looked into Immich yet? I am really liking it and the contributors are very passionate

Just checked and it's one of my many Starred repos. Thanks for the vouch though, kind of gives me a "short list" to review now.
