Been backing up to NextCloud using PhotoSync on iOS and Android the last few years. I also recently implemented Immich, and although that means doubled up photo backup, it's nice to test out and witness firsthand just how much Immich is improving with every release.
Do you feel immich is mature enough to be a primary photos app? I may go the route of nextcloud as I'm planning to migrate to nextcloud from synology drive. Didn't realize they had a photos backup app ad well.
From immich.app:
Yeah that was my point. That's why NC is my main and Immich is my secondary.
Oh, I misunderstood. I just set up immich and have my backups, so I won't have to worry how mature immich is. The design is really great!
I'm using NC too with the Memory app and not Immich. You that are using both what do you think? Do you think that one is better than the other?
I don't use the Memory app specifically, just a photos. As far as browsing my backed up gallery, Immich winds hands down between that and NextCloud. The gallery and tagging id the closest to Google photos I've come in a long time.
Can you point both to the same directory or is that what you mean by doubling backup that you need everything twice now?
You can, but only have one app (Immich or whatever you use to back up to NC) handle uploads. Right now I am doubling up but I have enough spare space that it isn't affecting me, so I don't mind.
