Hi all, I’ve been browsing this sub quite a bit but since i’ve not been able to find an answer i’ll post here my question.

I have an old laptop with 8gb ram and a i5 cpu and some TBs of drive. If the specs are decent enough I would like to turn into a photo server (running something like nextcloud memories, photoprism or Immich) so that I could move the first steps in the self hosting world.

The ideal scenario would be something that allowed each person in the house (4 people) to create his account and store his photos seperately. (One bonus is accessing the photos even outside of the house and having automatic sync from phone gallery)

Since I’m really new in this world I’m asking your opinion about a solution that you consider really easy to implement and to mantain, if it even exist. (maybe some prebuilt image wich is ready to be installed (?))

I’m willing to learn as much as possibile but I would like something easy to start with :)
