Good fit for Power users who want a strong web UI, AI tagging, and a rich filter language; less mobile-first than Immich.
Weak at Mobile app exists but is thinner than Immich's auto-backup; faces feature is in the paid tier of the cloud project (self-host is fine).
In a terminal? npx -y github:SolvoHQ/os-alt-cli google-photos prints
the Google Photos comparison table including PhotoPrism.
how the CLI works →
Replaces these SaaS
- Google Photos · Photo backup / library / face search
Google Takeout → unzip → drop into PhotoPrism's `originals/` directory (`docker run -v ./photos:/photoprism/originals ...`). Trigger an Index from the web UI; PhotoPrism reads the Takeout `.json` sidecars for timestamps and GPS. Albums recreate semi-manually via search filters or the album importer.
