I’m looking for a solution that satisfies:
- Open source, or partially open source.
- Have good privacy practice. Even better if I can get away from 5 Eyes or 9 Eyes.
- Have an application for Android that supports auto-sync.
Self-hosting is also an option, but I would prefer a lightweight setup. I checked Immich requirements, but it requires 2 CPU cores and 4 GB memory, which costs way too much if I want to host it on my AWS.
Does Synology Photos support shared albums where any user can contribute photos?
Yes. But I have mixed experience with this. How well it works might depend heavily on your internet speed (up/down) and on the performance of the synology. Overall user experience is a lot slower than any other commercial service.
