Hi
I have a small photo collection I want to maintain and backup and share access to the NAS with my wife and her family (2-4 users max).
The collection is about 500GB in size and our collection is growing at about 1TB yearly
I'm technically savy (Linux user) and would like to get to an affordable solution ideally out of the box, but I am prepared to do some tinkering with docker containers.
Fatures I need:
1. Stable and safe backup
2. All data (available) including face tags and other storage generated metadata as I'm trying to avoid vendor lock in by software (got burned on Google Photos)
3. Automated face tagging
4. Support for existing face tag format
-Currently using XMP sidecar files generated in Digikam for face tags
-Also using Google photos export with their JSON files for face taga
5. Open standards / Open source software if possible
