This is a photo gallery that can replace Google photos, while using nextcloud as a photo gallery is a proof of concept that can’t be even considered alpha quality
Hang on there.
Yes, NextCloud photos is kinda a dump, not gonna lie. Do not like.
But Nextcloud Memories is a labor of love, and it’s been freaking AWESOME. A little bit of Docker knowhow and the NextCloud AiO image is a great combo.
I tried nextcloud photos for ten minutes and it looked like you can add photos to an album only at the moment of their creation. And you need to choose them one by one, don’t have “select all”. And you can’t select photos already uploaded in the past. What? Couldn’t think of a worse gallery than this.
I personally prefer that it needs less babysitting.
Between myself, my wife, and my kids there are 6 client devices. And I like not having you deal with the incompatible cross-version issues that I kept running into with just one client device on immich.
It doesn’t have the same ML search that immich has, but they’re adding faces, and I’ve been able to get by with date and location while that kind of stuff is added.
And while I haven’t used it yet, I appreciate that they have an easy, readily available “export” function if you decide to switch to a different image gallery
It would be really nice if I could have it sync to both. I’d like to sync it locally and have all the features available, but for convenience I would also like the option of a secure, reputable cloud service that costs a reasonable fee.
They seem good. However, using the app seems to be either/or (local or their service)
They’re also twice the price of Google, which is a bit tough to swallow.
So Ente, like duck?
Edit: just checked it out (yes it’s duck), what’s the appeal over a self hosted nextcloud?

This can also be self hosted and is a much better photo gallery than nextcloud.
How does it compare with Immich?

Technically I think you can use any S3 compatible storage.
I was looking at running a garage instance on a Zimaboard at my parents’ house, but didn’t bother to follow through.
