Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren’t wrong because I’m using a password manager. Logs didn’t say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart the credentials worked again.
This stuff is just way too flaky for something so important.
Is OwnCloud good again? My main usecase is saving photos but I don’t want them locked away in a database so SeaFile is out.
Edit: I’m going to take the time to reply to you all, bit busy with work and family suddenly. But a little update - I’ve quickly setup Immich and fired up the CLI to import my library. AFAIK the files are still stored on disk somewhere but metadata is in a database. I didn’t realize this before, knowing that I think my mind is made up and Immich is the best solution. Thanks everyone!
For photos, I'd highly recommend checking out Photoprism.
the "PhotoSync" app available for both android and apple can sync from your phone to photoprism.
But, nextcloud itself, works pretty nice for me. But, I use OIDC-based logon, with Authentik.
Would highly reccomend https://immich.app/ too. It's the solution I've finally landed on after trying out most of the options out there.
