When I was looking to replace my google tools, I couldn’t find an easy to to alternative Google Photos. Things that were suggested like immich or Synology or ente required some level of technical know how or dedicated hardware. I ended up buying a Synology drive but I have issues with loading images/videos (it’s extremely slow).
Today I stumbled upon https://stingle.org/
I haven’t used it yet, but it looks like it might be a good option for anyone wanting to degooglify, but without all the extra fuffing around.
It also has a F-Droid distro!
Pricing starts at 1gb for free or 100gb for three bucks
If anyone get’s a chance, let me know if it’s really that good.
Shingle and ente are great alternative providers
If you want to selfhost
Librephotos serverside with uhuruphotos on android
Or
Photoprism serverside with photoprism android client
Or both
Runs smooth on a raspberry pi
Both actually better than google photos in some ways
