The author explores alternatives to mainstream photo apps, seeking privacy and control. They try PhotoPrism, LibrePhotos, Immich, and Ente Photos, ultimately favoring Ente for its ease, privacy, and low maintenance.
Proton services generally are not bad, but I could never use Proton Drive for anything else than mid to long term backups, because they don’t have it integrated with Linux. I am not angry though, it is what it is and I am only in the niche (even-though Linux is the best OS for privacy). Ever since I have setup my Truenas (and Immich) I find myself caring even less about not being able to use Proton drive 😀 That said, once they have integration I want to use it for a few files.
I’m in the same boat and hoping their new drive SDK will finally put a lot of these issues to rest. If possible I would love to sync a backup of my photos directly to proton from my immich self hosted instance. If they ever release it of course.
