Despite the availability of various self-hosted alternatives, finding a seamless replacement for Google Photos remains challenging. While options like Photoprism and LibrePhotos offer powerful features, they lack the mobile backup and editing capabilities of Google Photos. However, Immich, a self-hosted competitor to Google Photos, shows promise with its interface, multi-user support, album sharing, and basic machine learning features. Although still in active development, Immich could become a viable alternative in the future. In the meantime, users can back up their Google Photos library using Google Takeout and explore other backup options like PhotoSync, Autosync, Resilio Sync, or Syncthing.
