linuxserver.io made an rdesktop-web based docker image of DigiKam[0], so I guess it could be "upgraded" to self-hosted.
I'd be tempted by the potential of setting up various digikams as a service for my various users (the member of my family), where each instance could share some but not all photo folders with others.
Nextcloud is great, but not for photo galleries. The thumbnail generation is very unoptimised and it cannot handle folders with more than a small number of photos.

crypt.ee refuses to have a mobile app or allow third parties to do so, which is a hard dealbreaker if you use your phone to take photos.
It seems that the expect people to manually pick photos to upload one by one via their website and also figure out which ones you've already uploaded and not pick those again.
Basically the really hard part of syncing photos needs to be done manually.
Picasa?

Google retired Picasa. From the site[0]:
Moving on from Picasa
We’ve decided to retire Picasa in order to focus on a
single photo service in Google Photos – a new, smarter
photo app that works seamlessly across mobile and the web.
