I'm a little late to this party (I've been heads-down getting the next release of PhotoStructure out the door).
I've got Resilio Sync running on both my NASes to get photos and videos backed up and importable. It's like SyncThing, but also has an iOS app.
I've used both nginx proxy manager and Caddy as an authenticating reverse proxy. Caddy's simplicity in setup, speed in use, and docs are wonderful.
I've also used cloudflared to proxy my home server: it's a bit more involved to set up auth, but it's (currently) free.
And, of course, I run PhotoStructure: I'm the author.
PhotoStructure is a web-based digital asset manager, but I've focused on really robust de-duplication, library portability (so I can plug my library drive or mount the same NAS directory on macOS, Windows, or Linux, and everything "just works"), as well as support for very large libraries with sub-100ms page load latencies on cheap hardware (because slow browsing is maddening). I have many users with libraries that track 1mm+ asset files, but it's also relevant for smaller libraries, given how simple it is to set up (one-click install, answer 4 questions, and you're done with setup).
PhotoStructure is freemium commercial software, as it's currently paying for me to work on it full time. A bunch of my user base harks from Hacker News: if you want to give the paid plan a spin, use coupon code "HN15" for 15% off (forever!). Details about plans and pricing are on https://photostructure.com/about/pricing/ (and visit us on Discord and the PhotoStructure Forum: I'm lucky to have really friendly and helpful users!)
