I've been using Immich. Very useful and easy for non techies to use. I know it says beta software, and it is; but it is more reliable than Lemmy...

Are you using it with multiple users/devices syncing? I'm looking to get out of Photoprism, and Immich caught my eye a little while back.
Immich! I've been using it for a while and it's amazing
Nextcloud, as mentioned, is a great option but does require a bit of work, albeit not much. I would recommend a Synology server. They're fantastically simple and this was my approach after trying Nextcloud. I did this to divorce myself from Google. Synology has many mirrored services
Nextcloud is good. I actually have an instance on my server if you need one. A+ rating on server security test lol
If you can setup a small server (nothing fancy, an old refurbed office PC does just fine) you can setup NextCloud. I use it for a Google Drive/Photos replacement. Doesn't have as many nice features, but it works if al you want is archiving.
You can also check out the Self-Hosted Git Guide, there is a whole section for Photo/Video management. https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted#photo-and-video-galleries
Since we're discussing alternatives to Google, does anyone know of a self-hosted alternative to Google's location sharing? (For family members etc?)
