Not specifically for photos, but I have been a user of Perkeep, a long running project from one of the golang maintainers that focuses on long term storage of one's data:

Although it's no longer actively maintained (IIRC) and some of the importers are currently broken for me (Mastodon importer can't talk to Pleroma, Pinboard has a JSON error, Twitter gives random "account not found", etc.)

Which is a shame because I really like Perkeep/Camlistore as a concept.

Could you try to troubleshoot some of the issues and open PRs? It doesn't take an army to resuscitate a project...

-- Edit --

Actually on checking, it doesn't seem like Perkeep is at all dead. I'm seeing several updates in the last month...

I was going off https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/perkeep/Kqvh2dJVmoo

Which seems to me fairly definite about it no longer being actively maintained. There haven't been any updates to that posted on the @perkeeporg Twitter at least.

Sounds just like their full time maintainers got busy. May well be able to find another one, or even have a few folks fill in.

I'm actually going to check out perkeep when I get a chance and see if I can't help out some.
