Syncthing.
Just configure it to only run while plugged to the wall, so you're not surprised by the rare bug of it randomly turning your phone into a pocket warmer.
You can also configure one way syncs. So even if the photos are deleted from your phone, they still exist on the other side
iirc the syncthing Android app comes with DCIM camera preconfigured just like that.
This is important info
I use Syncthing-fork (fdroid). It lets you set you granular per folder settings like only sync on home WiFi.
Oh, I think that literally happened to me like 20 minutes ago
This. Simplest solution. I've had mine setup this way for a few years.
Huh, I've had it run on battery for years, is there some serious bug with that? I don't have it run on cellular data or in battery saver mode though.
I had it initially setup to run on Wi-Fi too, battery or charging.
Then I had my battery drain to 30-40% during afternoons, when I'm used to reaching evenings above 60%. Check app usage on settings: Syncthing.
Since I use it mostly for backing up photos, I found it better to enable it only when charging.
