PhotoPrism vs Apple Photos currently? (aussie.zone)

So the final thing tethering me to macOS is Apple Photos, which is really a fantastic program.

PhotoPrism looks like it’s improving quickly, but I was curious to know how it’s going today with regards to:

  • Search filters
    • Date
    • Place
    • Object/person recognition
    • Text recognition
  • Live Photo support
  • Ease of importing
  • Album support, including smart albums
  • Built-in touch ups
  • General stability

Photoprism's app space is pretty bad, but there is an completely hacky yet reliable solution for Android:

  1. PhotoBackup
  2. The PhotoBackup server on your Photoprism server
  3. A cron job that runs the photoprism import command every few minutes.

Since I've had this set up, it's worked as well as Google Photos ever did for keeping my phone snaps synced to the server. It's been more reliable than SyncThing for my data, reacting and syncing faster, and it doesn't mysteriously periodically just stop running like SyncThing.

I don't know if PhotoBackup is available for iOS, but if it is, it works a treat.

Sweet. Never heard of this before. Thanks. I'll take it for a spin over the weekend.
