Photo management

ph00lt0: > You don’t want a normal solution to the problem. No cloud, no NAS, which is what is typically recommended. So you want something very custom that likely does not even exists but still you wonder why there is no recommended solution. Well simply because you are asking for something unusual. Call me old-fashioned, but to me a cloud, a NAS, or even a server-based software is not necessarily the norm here. I handle my backups locally, on multiple hard drives, and do not need to have extra online storage. Basically, all I need is a photo library that works locally and that will still work when some photos are not available. That seems to me like a rather normal solution, not a very custom one. It’s something that Apple Photos does naturally on mac. And I used to have the same for Windows way back when. So it very much does exist and for sure was the only thing available until not so long ago. So I really appreciate the help, but the focus here is not to ensure backups or anything – I have that taken care of. All I need is something where I can see my pictures, organise them with folders and albums, and, perhaps, have some face recognition or things like this. Even that is optional.
