Any way to make nextcloud more like Google Photos? (Solved!)

To be more specific, I have a friend who pointed out a couple of features that they wanted. They’re present in Immich, but I’m wondering if they’re replicable in Nextcloud since I already have that installed, and Immich is giving me trouble with installation. I’ll troubleshoot Immich later if it can’t be replicated

The features:

Edit: Someone in the comments pointed out that Memories (something I already installed) had come a long way. Ended up finding out there’s a mobile app, and it is exactly these two things.

I’d debug immich. A good Photo pins on a map can be done with reitti but I think that connects to immich as a backend.

Sometimes the tool you want to use just isn’t right and you have to make it yourself. (I speak from Experience)

Having a world map that has pins on it based on location EXIF data in photos

Don’t you get that in NC already, if you go to Maps > My Photos ?

Immich is exactly what you’re looking for. Debugging the installation problem will be a lot less work with a way better result than trying to get Nextcloud to do what you want.

Memories has come a long way.

I don’t think it has the specific features you requested, sorry. But I like it as something that’s baked into my Nextcloud container (esp. as I haven’t had the time to set up Immich yet).

I didn’t realize Memories had a mobile app, and it has literally both of the features xD Looks near identical to Google photos, and has map pins in the app. Sweet, ty!

Like others have said, Immich is great for this. It’s damn near a copy of Google Photos without all the Google which is very nice. Fair warning however, I’m about to enter week two of backing up. I’ve got 14000+ assets to upload, and from what I’ve seen the first upload is the most brutal. Good luck, traveler!

Week two?

I was able to upload 57k assets via the web browser without much trouble. I just did it in bulk operations or a year or two at a time to prevent the interface framerate from dropping.

I don’t remember this taking me more than a couple days mostly not touching it.
