Immich is a perfect photos app, and although still under heavy development it is quite polished already.
Low maintenance depends on your definition I suppose. As it's under heavy development you do need to often change the config with a new update.
But it has a Google Photos like interface, facial recognition and object/scene recognition and searchability (all of this is done locally on the server), etc.
Immich is absolutely not perfect yet for every use case. A lot of people are looking for a photo server that can be used together with an existing Digikam archive and while Immich has recently added a read-only mode it still does not have good support for hierarchical tags which is necessary for that use case. I hope they will add that feature soon.
What would be the best way to set it up on a raspberry pi, keeping in mind privacy & security?
Run the docker container rootless, password protect it, and don't expose it to the Internet? Pretty much applies to any Docker container.
