Hi guys,

What services do you think have the best return of investment? Where is it truly worth it to selfhost?

Cheers

IMO they’re currently about as good, but they still serve slightly different purposes; Immich doesn’t fully support existing libraries because they don’t support nested albums, and PhotoPrism doesn’t have a native official app and therefore only supports sync through 3rd party apps.

One thing that is relevant to mention is that Immich uses OpenStreetMap in a way that isn’t kosher, and while they’re receptive to changing that, it clearly isn’t a priority to them. It doesn’t reflect too positively on them that they’d essentially abuse another (far more important) FLOSS project like that, while PhotoPrism has made it a priority to avoid such issues.
