Syncthing.

App on the phone and host on the server.

But syncthing deletes images when they are deleted on the phone right? I just tried it, and this is what seems to happen. Is there a way to set it up such that I can delete things on my phone, but they won't be deleted on the server?

You can make it so that you can have a folder ignored by your syncthing on your computer called something like backup but have your phone still recognise that folder as not ignored. Then when you want to delete a photo in your phone, just move it to that folder, wait until it syncs and then delete it. Your computer should not delete the photo since it ignores any changes in that folder. I'll test this when I get home if you would like?

Thanks, but this is too labourous for me. I would like to be able to delete photos directly from my phone without the need to move them first.

I am now thinking about setting up a cronjob on the server that backs up the pictures every minute or so to a different folder with rsync...
