Self hosted solution for phone photo backup (sh.itjust.works)

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

I use syncthing to keep all my documents and pictures synced between my devices.

Yeah this.

I don't keep all my photos in sync though. Only the last few months.

I'm using photoprism to browse photos on my server but I've been meaning to look at other options because it's not that great IMO.

I swapped out photoprism for immich and I'm much happier.

Bit its deprecated now because Google pissed off the only developer. I mean forget photos, I need a whole phone file system backup tool that is self hosted. I don't want any of my stuff to end up in Google servers. I take lots of research notes and photos. WTF. That shit should be illegal.

The android app developed by the syncthing dev is deprecated, the fork is still fine. While the fork's dev has no plans to publish to google play, there's presently no reason to think they will discontinue supporting the fork.
