Photos alternative with good recognition / search? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Slowly but surely trying to de google my life, but Google Photos is a hard one. I have a kid and seven pets, and I've come to rely on Google Photo's search abilities to actually find anything I want to see in the hot mess of disorganized photos.

I tried a trial of Ente and filled it up to the free limit with pics. It was able to recognize my toddler in THREE photos, no one else. I don't know how many or which photos are backed up because it doesn't seem to show them separate from my un-backed up ones. It doesn't learn to recognize pets as far as I can tell.

I'm too tired to learn to self host just to use Immich, even though I've heard good things, ha.

I tried out Immich, but I prefer Nextcloud Memories.

Nextcloud also replaces a lot of other Google services like Docs, Drive etc.

And it's very stable and solid.

You can host it yourself, but you can also pay for it there are many hosts like Hetzner for 4$ per month + tax

I've seen them recommended before and had been wondering about finding a trusted server to have it hosted. I'll check out Hetzner, thx!
