I'm looking a for photo-storage option for the long-run.

Open-source is not a must, but nice. E2E encryption is not a must, but nice.

I just want to place to store, edit(?), categorize, search, share my photos. And I don't want to the place to be Google, Apple, or Microsoft. So, this does look interesting.

However, I also want to low-maintenance, low-cost, stable long-term solution. I value convenience.

What options should I consider?

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.
