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:
- Having a world map that has pins on it based on location EXIF data in photos
- Preferably a UI similar to google photos on mobile besides that
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.
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.
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.
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)
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!
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 ?
