I sync my photos with an old Raspberypi 3 with Syncthing, then have my own very basic web photo gallery: https://github.com/dariosalvi78/simple-gallery which supports permissions and thumbnails. If you have a sensible folder structure, for example by year/event you don't need anything else. I am also working on face recognition and geo location, but the hardware limitations are challenge (a fun one to solve tho).
Manual photo structure like this is highly underrated.
Also came to say this - I love what TFA has done, but for me everything is already stored, dated and grouped, so I was thinking I could just add Syncthing on top of that and call it a day.
Doesn't solve fancy things like facial recognition, etc, though of course.
