Fishing for an answer: Please tell me your favorite self-hosted photo web app (or share with your friends who know one) that:
Can run in linux, docker
Supports multiple users, each with the ability to manage their own independent photos and albums.
Includes a nice slide-show feature over user-curated albums, include "smart" albums (i.e. albums created dynamically based on search criteria).
Has good metadata support (geolocation, timeline, tags, faces), including preloading metadata from EXIF tags.
Includes a smartphone app that syncs the device's camera roll.
Basically, a practical replacement for Google Photos. Any ideas?

#Piwigo and #Immich are both good candidates.
I have used piwigo for over 12 years with little trouble. They now have their own docker image although I started with a Linuxserver one. Their philosophy is to provide the basics, which are configurable, and then use plugins. Immich is currently less able to deal with full sharing so I have not installed a version on my public server but they have been promising better sharing for a long time and it is in development.
