I just want an app to backup all the photos from my phone automatically. I use NextCloud for that currently and it works well. But, it's kinda heavy for what I want/need.
https://immich.app
I solve this with immich too. Its a real game changer and agree with others that have indicated this as one of hthe best pieces of OSS.
have you heard about immich? it's a bit 'heavy', too, but that's because it's not just a photo backup solution but aims to be a self-hosted multi-user replacement for google photos.
Can Immich just leave my photos alone in their current location / folder structure, or does it take over and mangle it all up?
I'm fairly happy with my photo storage structure, but would like the features of Immich...
I use it in readonly mode. Works great nice app and great search capabilities.
There's also PhotoPrism which is nice. The comparison between the two is evolving with every release.
They don't have a proper Android app with sync capability and force you to use the proprietary, 3rd-party PhotoSync app.
That's not entirely correct. PhotoPrism offers WebDAV and SAMBA protocols, and their docs state that clearly: https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/sync/mobile-devices/#other-apps Furthermore, you can always sync files to the server via other means (e.g. SyncThing).
I'm talking about easy to set up, new user friendly solutions. Having an official app with a sync feature is essential in my opinion
