Immich has image and facial recognition by default and a very neat Android app. Also it’s running in my home server, which has more power if Immich needs it. In that case I’d say software should serve one purpose and serve that good. Immich is just for picture management and does that very good. Nextcloud is a cloud and the Photos app is just a small extra that can’t compete with a full-fledged software. Nextcloud runs fine on my Raspberry Pi 4, but it’s only used by me and three friends. It’s mainly limited by your network speed and disk speed I’d say. And I’m using an external hard drive without issues.
Comment on Trying to get advice for photo/files storing/syncing
hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month agoThanks for replying. Is there a reason you use Immich over NextCloud’s NextCloud Photos? Also I’ve occasionally heard NextCloud is pretty slow, is it okay for you? You’re using their official client program to sync files?

I see. The lack of a desktop client seems to be Immich’s biggest con. I guess NextCloud wouldn’t be the best choice here. Thanks for replying.

Nextcloud Photos performs okay, but the interface is very ‘meh’. Plus, the mobile client’s sync is a little unstable. On iOS, there’s no background sync at all.

Just curious, but is there anything that provides background sync on iOS except iCloud?
