- For
- Android users with a self-hosted PhotoPrism server
- Worth noticing
- Its photo-backup option is described as add-only: it never deletes files and can preserve each photo’s location.
Field notes
The page gives setup paths for WireGuard, Tailscale, and a direct connection on home Wi-Fi, and says the app checks that the home server is really the user’s before skipping the VPN. It also describes optional server-side photo backup with Wi-Fi-only settings and location retention. The developer identifies the project as independent and links to its source and issue tracker.
