Replaces these SaaS

  • Google Photos · Photo backup / library / face search

    Google Takeout export → drop into LibrePhotos' `data/photos` mount. The `Scan Photos` background job indexes EXIF + Takeout sidecars. Faces and event clustering recompute from scratch — there is no preserving Google's clusters. No first-class mobile backup app; pair with Syncthing or Resilio for phone → server sync.
