Alternatives to PhotoPrism (kbin.social)

Are there any full featured alternatives to PhotoPrism? I'd be happy to support their devs but charging almost $80 a year for basic features like having more than one user is kind of absurd. At that cost I'd rather just pay for the extra dirt cheap storage from Google and keep things there.

That said, I'd really love to continue moving everything I can away from the big G and photos is a sticking point because I have a wife and child and other family members who depend on it.

This was asked about a month ago on reddit. Obviously there are excellent alternatives, I personally use Immich and Nextcloud. If you are certain that you want Photoprism but don't want to pay, then you can just set PHOTOPRISM_SPONSOR: "true" in the deployment environment variables and it should unlock everything.

Is there any repercussions to be expected if you use that without really being a sponsor?

Other than that not being ethical and feeling bad about it.

Thanks for that. I've got Immich deployed and it's already parsed my entire library thanks to some heaving lifting from my GPU. I think I like it and will just stay with it.

I thought that stopped working when they instituted the new system where you have to link your account

I was able to get the cuda docker container working along the main docker container. It processed 19,000 photos in one night while I slept. I just wish it did gpu transcoding.
