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.
Yeah I honestly agree. Memories is a vast improvement, so much so that it should just be the default at this point. I went so far as to get a menu customizer addon to just remove Nextcloud Photos as an option. I feel like it puts off new users more then helps anything.
I’m glad there’s other options like the OP link, but I seriously enjoy Memories / Nextcloud for hosting it on my own hardware. Very little maintenance, has an app. Uploads from my phone whenever I plug it in to charge. Basically more than enough feature parity with Google photos that I could finally dump that mess. :)
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.
Between myself, my wife, and my kids there are 6 client devices. And I like not having to 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

This can also be self hosted and is a much better photo gallery than nextcloud.

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.

How does it compare with Immich?
I personally like that it needs less babysitting.
