Nextcloud certainly can be a cumbersome beast. I’m glad it’s the second thing I chose to selfhost instead of something much later on. Gave me a chance to get my feet wet with it. I’m a big fan, but I think if I’d started with smaller services I’d be upset about the breadth of the project. It is absolutely trying to do everything it can, which can be good or bad depending on your use case.

Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 1 day agoThanks for saying that, I have been loving immich on one of my pi 5’s now I am going to need to replace it. I am thinking Ente, just cause it is FOSS with paid tears just like vaultwarden/bitwarden.
I have stopped using Nextcloud because I can never get things tuned right, and I feel it is trying to do more than it should.

Nextcloud was not my first selfhosted thing, I was paying a service provider for it when I started self hosting everything else I was already frustrated with how nextcloud did not play well with my homelab so I thought why the heck am I paying for it. I have never had good luck with Nextcloud.
Of all options you choose Nextcloud as alternative? You have so many options;
Ente photos, PhotoPrism, Piwigo, TinyCld

I think you replied to the wrong person, I never would or never have used Nextcloud for photos.
