I like the look of this. I'm currently using PhotoPrism[1] and PhotoSync[2] as a combo to get the same thing and whilst it works fine I've always thought a single app would be far better placed.

Looks relatively straightforward to get running, pretty much inline with what I had to do in order to get PhotoPrism running in the first place. Only thing I couldn't see anything about was hardware acceleration, do leverage any of the Intel instructions (VAAPI) for transcoding? That's a paid feature on PhotoPrism and something that's sorely needed. CPU bound transcoding is terrible!

Think I'll put this on the TODO list for the weekend!

If you do, let me know how it goes. I've been working using photoprism, like it plenty, but would love a comparison.

Getting rid of all of the Google dependencies in my life is... Ugly. I would really like to still trust Google. I just can't anymore.

PhotoSync is pretty nifty where you can auto sync while charging at a location (ie home)

PhotoSync does not have autobackup for iOS last time I tried. Did this change?

Nothing in iOS seems to have true autobackup because background apps don’t seem to reliably wake. What I find is that it works until the app is closed, like after an os update, and then you have to manually open the app before it will start going again. I have mine set to try to run whenever I plug in to charge, and it works pretty consistently until reboot, and from there I’m not consistent about remembering to open the app again.

It does. I use PS to sync to a WebDAV server I rent. I set PS to auto-backup when I put my phone on the charger and when I arrive at home (whether you consider this "auto" is up to you). I have opened the app exactly 0 times in the last year, and my photo backup is up to date as of this morning. PS is a shining example of a simple, reliable app.
