I am gradually moving everything to self hosted, and I want to move away from Google Photos. I currently have Nextcloud and sync seems to mostly work, but the default interface seems a bit lacking.

I have tried a few things a while ago (~6 months), but things seem to change quickly.

At the moment, I quite like Nextcloud Memories. It has a similar interface to Google Photos and seems to have relatively quick photo caching, and integrates well with nextcloud. However it doesn’t have a real app and lacks of offline viewing so haven’t fully transistioned yet.

What are you using for your photos and why?

    Immich is a very promising app.

    Right now it’s probably the most ambitious in terms of functionality, and a lot of people recommend it as an alternative to Google Photos.

    However since it’s still in Beta, if you use it, be sure to have a backup of those photos somewhere else. Just in case.

      agreed. just got my family to join my instance and add their photos so we can make albums. I ran into issues uploading photos initially, but i guess 8000 photos/videos would tax any system

      Immich as well, since they added the ability to share albums with a public link it has all the functionality I needed.
