I honestly have no idea if the iOS app works properly.

I've got Wireguard running. As soon I am on wifi, my phone uploads the new pictures.
I tried Photoprism, Ente and Immich.
Immich is by far the best. It has got an app that really does what it should do, has an AI that actually works and is easy to host and to update.
First layer is done by Postscreen (by Postfix). It watches bots misbehaving, check blackhole DNS and disconnects them. Fail2ban takes care of bots who cause errors and warnings in logs and bans them. Third layer is SPF and DKIM. If it does not match, it's getting flagged.
If someone conforms to protocols and passes the tests, there is still rspamd on the fourth layer. It does zillions of checks on the metadata and additionally learns via bayes. Dovecot moves all the crap to Junk and inserts the valid mails into their proper folders.
The fifth layer is me. If some junk mail arrives in the inbox, I move it to Junk manually and Dovecot tells rspamd to learn it as spam.
I use Rustdesk to access PCs and embedded devices from other PCs and embedded devices. Mostly doing remote support to avoid driving.
It's easy to set up with a container-based server.
I don't have to care about licenses and crap like that. It just works.
This is probably the reason. Older element versions has video and telephony via native interfaces and coturn/turnserver for firewall hole poking.
The newer Element X uses a different infrastructure that even allows multi user conferences. You need to update your well-known server response to point it to the new infrastructure: https://github.com/element-hq/element-call
If you use these powerline plugs, your house is also a huge antenna.
My internet access dropped occasionally until a telcom guy found the culprit. It was a neighbor using a Devolo powerlan adapter.
So yes, don't use these. The only useful frequency in power cables is 50 or 60 Hz.
A domain with DNS access costs around 2€ a year. Just buy your own and generate certificates with Acme.
