I wanted to like Photoprism because unlike Ente and Immich, it supports SQLite databases and doesn't require postgres (I want to keep home lab maintenance to a minimum) but the UI was difficult to like and I couldn't get hardware encoding working on my Intel N100 GPU.

What about Postgres isn't low-maintenance?

The ball-ache of SQLite not scaling outweighs any "maintenance" Postgres needs (it really is just set-and-forget and use a Docker container to schedule database backups—whole thing takes a couple minutes).
