I'm moving my family out of apple photos, self hosted options have come a long way. I landed on immich [0] and a caddy plugin that allows for PKI certificate for account access while still allowing public shared URLs [1]*
There's also LibrePhotos which is packed with features but doesn't have as much polish as immich. They do however have a list of python libraries that can be used for offline/local inference for things like having an image model create a description of a photo that can benefit the full text search.

* Haven't actually tried this plugin yet, my weekend project is setting up my caddy VPS to tunnel to the immich container running on my Synology NAS
