My friend! This is a fantastic use for the great exiftool. Here's a link [0] to their (also good) forums where it's implemented by the author in this one-liner:

  exiftool -o . '-Directory<FileModifyDate' '-Directory<DateTimeOriginal' -d $TARGETDIR/%Y/%m_%B/%Y.%m.%d -r $SOURCEDIR

I would also recommend checking out PhotoPrism for a robust self hosted endpoint. One of the features that sets that project apart is its implementation of object and facial detection to help classify and sort or search your library.

It's worked well for me in limited (<10k imgs) use so far, but I haven't had the time yet to throw my entire 100k+ library at it.

I didn't know about this software, I'm currently giving it a shot, I have a tiny bit less than 20k pictures and seems to be working great.

Thank you for the amazing suggestion!
