I don't want my kids pictures to be used for training a military drone AI or some other nightmarish computer vision application. I keep all my photos self hosted. There are a lot options for doing this, I like librephotos: https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos

I am using [librephotos](https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos) and searching for objects/things/faces 'works' it is not great and objects is miles behind google, but it makes job done for me.
Ask HN: File-based photo management applications? | Feb 2022
Hi I am using https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos not as feature-full as you would like but it is file-based. For my needs (which is to serve photos that get backed up from my phone) it works. It has a map, recognizes faces, tags etc. Really hard to find software that uses files these days.
