FOSS that removes photos from phones?
reddit / selfhosted

I'm testing out Photoprism right now but the two biggest features I'm
missing are the phat gallery mobile app of Google Photos and the fact
that it removes local photos after some time to save phone storage. I
know I can duct tape a solution together with syncthing but are there
any self hosted FOSS that handle removing local photos?

Go with Immich, it's great. They have their own app for the android
and iOS platform.

Does it automatically import photos from the Android camera directory
and then delete the local copy from the phone?

You can select the directories you want to backup. As for
automatically deleting from your local storage, you will have to do
that manually.

I'm using photoprism combined with the android app[android
app](https://github.com/Radiokot/photoprism-android-client) and I'm
really happy

The recommended sync app for Photoprism (but works with any WebDAV
server) is photosync which apparently works very well.

I am syncing the files / photos from my phone to my Nextcloud server
but cannot really recommend, because it has been a bumpy road lately
since the NC Android app seems to be in dire need of more developers.
