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!

Maybe Immich might be a fit fit

I'm giving this a try now - it's true it still saves the files on disk somewhere right? AFAIK at least so, this fits my requirements.

Yes it does, you can back up the files externally and everything if needed. You can also import external directories of existing photos.

The installation instructions talk about the yaml amd env file to dowmload and edit, in one of those you specify explicit path of where your files go
