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 had it on a beefy server too. Glad that it works for you, every nextcloud thread on social media has a discussion like ours.

Yea, it's not the first time I've seen this discussion either.
I don't wanna seem like I'm not believing you or belittling your experience, I just find it weird that we (we, users, as a whole, not just you and I) have such wildly different experiences with it.

As is, I have a vastly better experience with my own nextcloud than with corporate's onedrive, with more stuff on mine.

Wish I knew why it's so inconsistent.
Even though my nextcloud experience is fine, I know plenty of people with the opposite.

I wish that too. I've profiled the server code and there was no simple to identify bottleneck. I profiled the android app when it was displaying Force Close / Wait modal every few minutes when in background, and found a very troublesome database query which selected all files without pagination. Adding pagination fixed that force close problem but the app was still too slow to be usable.

And at the time when I was doing all this, of course there were reports of people who had more data than i did and it was working fine for them.
