Hi all

TL;DR:

I’m looking for an alternative to Google photos with the ability to AI upscale photos for my specific use case. I would like to have something that I can self host on my RPi4, that syncs with my phone. Ideally, it would take photos off my phone, upscale and then send them back - ideally as a Cron job that runs every few days.

Context:

For some reason, half the photos I take with my camera are somehow blurry or high noise (a 2014 HTC one mini 2) - more likely than not because I replaced the stock rom and thus no longer have access to the proprietary software of the HTC.

(I would have thought Gcam or OpenCam would suffice but meh. The camera itself is 13MP and should be good enough for ok pics).

Anyway, I had the idea of self hosting the photos on my Pi (as am de-googling anyway and it’s currently used exclusively as a Jellyfin/Radarr/Sonarr box) and thought hey, why not see if there’s something that can run some kind of image upscale / cleaner and then send photos back to phone.

Saves me from having to get another new-old phone.

Nb: Yes, I’m aware this is an old phone. Yes, I’m aware if would be just easier to use a better phone. No, I don’t want to use a different phone, for various reasons (mostly pocketability). And because fuck it, I’m bloody minded enough to want to want to bash a square peg through a round hole, which I think might resonate with some of you.

Anyway, any software that might fit my needs?
