A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I use photoprism and it's painfully slow with the amount of photos I have (around 100k), but it's still good if I need web access.
I tried DigiKam, but didn't like it much, and it had issues accessing network devices (don't remember if only macos or windows too).
Started trying out Mylio, played with face acceptance sliders a bit, it's great on my machine, and I already have external sync methods so free option is enough for me. I sync photos with external apps to my network shares and Mylio automatically picks them up and proposed face tags (can even auto accept if you set it up for that).
Google Photo does it. I guess you can upload them and then download everything tagged to organize them.
Some server still has a Picasa 3.9 setup available for download.
Lightroom has face recognition.
How?
Create a new library, then import the images, then use the facial recognition functionality in the library module
