I dumped Google photos for self hosted immich and it’s been great. Not sure if it has the ability to connect to photo frames but if you already self host anything else it’s not too much work to setup.
It’s really not that heavy. I have Immich - and several other services - running on a 4-core VM with 16GB RAM, running on 7th gen Intel hardware alongside another 4c/16GB VM and several LXC containers. It does the job just fine with more than enough overhead.
This is one of the few things I can get behind with machine learning. Locally run, doesn’t “phone home”, just analyzes faces and categorizes them. That’s it.

I went to install immich but it was very heavy… I don’t need AI in a selfhosted Google Photo’s replacement.
Those features can be disabled to ease up on resources.
I got it running on a raspberry pi and have disabled the machine learning parts in the docker compose file. Works great.

I’m sorry, but then you are the minority. AI image categorization and face recognition is amazing for finding specific pictures quickly

I wasn’t super thrilled about the idea myself, but with the ability to disable it I figured I’d give it a try.
Personally it’s a really cool feature that adds to the experience.
This is the way.
Check out Immich Kiosk as an example for image frames.
