What is the best way to sync images to my NAS? (lemmy.ca)

I'm kind of surprised I've struggled with this so long. Right now I've been using nextcloud camera upload, and mostly it works ok but shits the bed once in a while without me noticing and I need to spend time fixing it and it's never as simple as turning it off and on again.

I recently tried syncthing, and while it works, it frequently crashed and got stuck in a state where it says it's on and working by my destination folder is shown as disconnected, and the options to restart syncthing from the side menu are greyed out and the only way to make it work again is by force closing it and reopening it.

I'm running vanilla stock Google Android and truenas, does anyone have a better solution?

Immich supports image uploads from a phone?

Yes.
It can also sync across the internet if you have it set up appropriately.

Very neat and they have recently implemented (chrome) casting capability into the app.

This is cool, unfortunately for me I'm too lazy to set up like 5 dockers for immich right now lol.

Looks like much but it's basically copy pasting the base compose and adjusting for your current infrastructure.

The actual work comes with ingesting the data.

I saw the compose earlier, doesn't it call for an external db, among other things?

If it's just that compose I'll probably implement this tomorrow.

Yep, all you need are docker-compose.yml, hwaccel.ml.yml, hwaccel.transcoding.yml and the .env file.
And moat of that is copy pasting the template and adjusting (sticking the version number, choosing GPU/ML accelerator, etc.) ig
