# Step 1. Research options.

First things first, I  am leaning to go into Photoprism but it's worth the quick search on the internet to see if there are any other open source solutions to a google photos clone that has similar or better features added. I really found [the FOSS Photo Libraries github site](https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/) a pretty useful resource for a nice comparison between options. 


The current options are: 
- [Photoprism](https://www.photoprism.app/) 
	- [github](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism)
	- [demo](https://demo.photoprism.app/library/browse)
- [Immich](https://immich.app/)
	- [github](https://github.com/immich-app/immich) 
	- [installation](https://immich.app/docs/overview/introduction)
	- [demo](https://demo.immich.app/photos)
- [Photoview](https://photoview.github.io/)
	- [demo](https://photos.qpqp.dk/)
- [LibrePhotos](https://github.com/LibrePhotos/librephotos?tab=readme-ov-file)
	- [Demo](https://demo2.librephotos.com/)
	- [Docs](https://docs.librephotos.com/)
- [Home gallery - ](https://home-gallery.org/)
	- [demo](https://demo.home-gallery.org/)
	- [docs](https://docs.home-gallery.org/install/)
	- [github](https://github.com/xemle/home-gallery)
