Hi Daniel,

I finished importing the family archive into the self-hosted photo library last night. All 38,000 photos and videos are there, and the timeline, map, and face search seem to be working well.

You can reach it at https://photos.example.net. I created an account for you, but you'll need to set a new password when you first sign in. The mobile app can also upload new photos automatically; use the same server address during setup.

A few older albums lost their original ordering during the import, so I'm fixing those manually. Nothing is missing—the originals are still backed up on the NAS and an encrypted external drive.

Let me know if you have trouble logging in.

Maya
