In immich you can also get the files organized in folders. I have it year > month > day. You can create templates for how you want to organize it.

Anyone with Nextcloud Memories setup? I’ve read it’s the only one that still respects a sane files and folders setup, whereas the other options basically force you to forever use their database-based system and files are terribly organized, so you are forced to use their interface.

Immich has a “storage templates” section which allows you to choose a folder structure that it will use to store the files in.
Or go the other way and include your folders as external libraries.

“external library” is the way

Since I would recommend everyone 3-2-1. I have both a good structured photobackup AND immich.

What do you use for 3-2-1? I try, so far I have my phone, backed up to a server HDD via SMB (Too poor for RAID-1 atm), and the very important stuff sent to a USB drive. Am I doing it right haha

I have it and immich set up. Nextcloud memories is fine, but for me the auto upload would randomly stop at some points. Overall ux with immich is better, but memories gets the job done.

I use FolderSync to push my photos to Nextcloud. Much more reliable than their app

Does that automatically add it to the database or do you have a scan schedule?

I think Memories schedules its scan with the normal cron job for Nextcloud

I have one setup. The setup was abit clunky since cli work is required. But after that I had a great experience.

@unknowing8343 yes, i've been using Memories app to tag and organize my photos and it has been running smoothly. no complaints whatsoever.

Yeah. It integrates so cleanly with nextcloud and also means I don’t have to pay for a second service just for photos so that’s nice
