The Google Photos feature of finding photos of a specific person in your collection by their face is the key feature my wife really loves. Is there a self-hosted tool (ideally Synology NAS compaible) that gives similar functionally I could have more control over how it's using/analyzing our photos,, rather than needing to trust Google with our family photos just for that feature?

I’ve been testing https://photoview.github.io running locally on docker and it’s working just fine. Face recognition works amazingly well and fast.

Nextcloud also has a photo album app with face recognition (additional app) which I’ve been meaning to try. There is also the new https://memories.gallery/ also in my list of apps to test :)

At https://github.com/photoview/photoview are also the following names as alternatives:

Piwigo - https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo
LibrePhotos - https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos
Photoprism - https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism
Lychee - https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee

I hope that helps :)

I've tried them all and came back to photoview. Face recognition along with ability to use actual folders is what brought me back.
