Comment on My take on selfhosted photo management
Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 8 months agoI’ve never had that issue on any of the devices it’s been installed on.
It’s asked me to log back in, but usually for reasons that would make sense.
On my device, I do use the Photos app quite often, so I’d know if there was a problem right away. My wife never opens her app, but I do check it from time to time to make sure that it’s still backing things up.
Alternatively, I believe the Synology Drive and Files apps also include backup functionality that might work better for you.

Maybe it’s just something funky with my setup (using 2FA maybe?) but I never could figure it out. I’ve since switched to Immich anyway, was just curious if it affected anyone else!

That’s a shame. Was this on iOS or Android?
How’s Immich running for you? It looks significantly more polished than when I last checked it out. I may give it a spin!

It’s decent with some caveats.
My use case is to have a shared backup repository with my wife. I could’ve (should’ve) used a shared account but I set us both up with individual accounts and used the library sharing feature as that seemed to be the “correct” way to do it. Except that face and other useful data isn’t shared between libraries so it works very differently to how Syno Photos works when uploading directly to a shared space.
The app also doesn’t have separate settings for internal and external URLs, so while I use cloudflare tunnels for most things and call it a day, the data limits they impose meant that I had to setup a reverse proxy internally to make it work over HTTPS while on my home WiFi.
Development is moving at a hell of a pace though, so I’d be surprised if these things weren’t fixed in short order. Meanwhile automatic backups have been working flawlessly.
