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.
You may not have good results on a Pi. Immich is particularly resource heavy, especially if you want to use all the AI features like face recognition. Some users in the Discord have posted about their issues recently. I’m not a fan of Discord for projects like that, but its where they do all their support and updates, so you may want to check it out.

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.
