Hey guys, I’m new to self-hosting; I’m trying to set up cloud storage to store pics and other content. However, I’m unsure whether to use my old computer, Buy NAS or ResberryPie to set up a home server.

Also, what is the best privacy-friendly OS to use with the home server?

Lastly, do’s and don’ts.

Any help would be appreciated (:

    What are you comparing it with? Something like photoprism? If so, then photo prism does not allow you to have multiple users. (Atleast it wasn’t there when I used it last time)

    If you compare it with Lychee, then Lychee does not have facial recognition.

      I tried Photoprism a few days ago and it still doesn’t support multiple users. It also doesn’t have an app. The Immich app is really great and it’s stupidly simple to setup auto backup of your phone camera.
