For photos, I'd highly recommend checking out Photoprism.
the "PhotoSync" app available for both android and apple can sync from your phone to photoprism.
But, nextcloud itself, works pretty nice for me. But, I use OIDC-based logon, with Authentik.
Would highly reccomend https://immich.app/ too. It's the solution I've finally landed on after trying out most of the options out there.
Main issue is that it doesn't support chunked uploads and that means it doesn't work with cloudflare
I'll give credit- that actually has a really nice interface. Going to have to star that one, and keep an eye on it.
Documentation is very nice too.
Does it support syncing photos from your phone? That's the only thing I need to get off Google Photos, I love how seamless it is.
Syncing support is a core feature of immich. The app is top notch from my experience with it.
I've just recently setup an immich server and it's working great. The mobile syncing works and updates are coming very frequently. Makes a great drop in replacement for Google photos. It even has a memories feature now.
Go with immich if you want to ever have multiple users.
Photoprism locks user accounts behind a paid subscription.
Pretty much everything is more full-featured on immich except for incomplete RAW format support because photoprism is mainly focused on photography and now businesses IIRC.
I have been digging through the features and documentation- and I plan on giving it a try.
We have been asking for a password for "private" photos, for a few years now.... and yea, still don't have that feature. I did notice photoprism jumped on the subscription train a while back, but, have not paid too much mind to it.
But, seeing the beautiful interface of this, I will be trying it.
So the only reason I have been using nextcloud was for the photo sync and that it can be configured to backup right away.
Does Photosync allow for backups right away?
It's configurable.
I have mine configured to backup when I am charging and on wifi.
But, you can set it to run instantly.
Thanks for the response. I will give it a look over this weekend!
