Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

I've been using it for a couple of years though. I have not really had any problems with auto-upload from my android phone. So not sure if that "not even alpha stage" comment is correct. I don't know the state of it on iOS though.

    Can confirm that nextcloud photo back is for the most part rock solid, they have had some issues when Android changes something and that mess up the process.

    But I took have been running it for years, of your nextcloud install is ropey then your photo sync will be.

    Automatic photo upload works good, but it's the album creation (and sharing with other users) that severely lacks in features. 3rd party modules like memories are also better

    But for official photos, last time i checked it 3 months ago, you could add photos to an album only at the moment of creation, and not add later
