Immich. Just found out about it, still gotta try, but looks good, an app that allows you to configure a Google Photos like app locally hosted, with automatic phone backups
I personally just switched from Immich to Ente on my self hosted server, since it is E2EE and since sync doesn't work that good for users on iOS with Immich right now. Also Ente just open sourced all their stuff including their server and supports self hosting. Very nice.
It's really nice, can't recommend it enough
Can it sync with Google Photos so you could use both?
You can use both on your phone to sync with each of them, yes. Immich and Google Photos won't communicate directly (and don't need to).
It's a good idea in case your Google account ever gets banned. (Say you issue a chargeback against Google Wallet or something.)
