I’m looking for a Google Photos search replacement in local, preferable FOSS.
Does anyone know one?
Not really local but selfhosted: Nextcloud + memories
Immich is a really good self hosted option
Louis Rossman affiliated group FUTO is pitching in to support development of Immich which hopefully will iron out bugs it currently may have.
this is the way.
This is really the only answer.
I think Mylio does this, even in its free version. I don’t think it’s FOSS though.
Immich. https://immich.app/
AGPL, self-hosted, high feature parity with GPhotos. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/
SpaceInvader One channel on YT has several guides on installing the server on UnRaid and migrating your photo library from Google Photos. https://youtu.be/krAZcUIP3YE and https://youtu.be/LtNWxxM5Mzg
Louis Rossmann recently brought a lot of attention to it by offering the developers a grant via his FUTO org. https://youtu.be/uyTPqxgqgjU
Immich has excellent face detection, as well as search capabilities built-in that can be assisted with locally or remote run ML. https://immich.app/docs/guides/remote-machine-learning/
I’ve been running it for a couple of months. It’s under active development, but I personally feel that it’s stable and at a good enough place to be a full replacement of Google Photos. In fact, I turned off all uploads to Google in their Photos app, and rely on Immich auto-uploading to my server instead. Of course that means having a robust (preferably off-site) backup and disaster recovery plan.
Photoprism is working great for me.
Synology Photos has a search function. It’s not as good as google’s though.
