I'm done with NextCloud (ymmel.nl)

Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren't wrong because I'm using a password manager. Logs didn't say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart the credentials worked again.

This stuff is just way too flaky for something so important.

Is OwnCloud good again? My main usecase is saving photos but I don't want them locked away in a database so SeaFile is out.

Edit: I'm going to take the time to reply to you all, bit busy with work and family suddenly. But a little update - I've quickly setup Immich and fired up the CLI to import my library. AFAIK the files are still stored on disk somewhere but metadata is in a database. I didn't realize this before, knowing that I think my mind is made up and Immich is the best solution. Thanks everyone!

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.
