I also self-host this together with Tailscale. The UI is not very polished but certainly very usable already.
My personal journey was to get rid of my dependency on iCloud Photos. I managed to export two-decades worth of pictures and videos using a separate tool (https://github.com/RhetTbull/osxphotos) and then import into PhotoPrism. Coming from Apple Photos, the UI is a bit lackluster but the freedom of owning the entire data more than makes up for it.
