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.

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.

Something maybe wrong? I have 58k photos and it didn't take anywhere near that long. If memory serves, I just let it rip overnight and it was done the next day.

FYI, you can point to an external library somewhere else in your NAS folders. Then the only thing left for Immich to do is to make thumbnails and face detection.
