I self host Immich to actually act as a Google Photos replacement, but I backup all my stuff with backblaze. It gets encrypted before I send it instead of using their keys. You can look into Ente for a more private Google Photos replacement that is maybe what you're looking for.

Ente is great but so much work to setup. Micro service architecture really doesn't make self hosting any easier.

Oh for self-hosting I strongly prefer Immich. Ente is good for someone who is willing to pay for something like Google Photos though with their cloud option. Figured not everyone has servers set up or wants to bother, especially with hardware prices right now.
