Any ideas for a Google Photos replacement service?
Delpoy Nextcloud with the Memories app. It's a google photos clone that has the Nextcloud ecosystem behind it which means you can replace Drive, Notes, Reader, Podcasts, Hangouts and more.
Self host Immich. It's a Google Photos clone and has the same look and functionality.
I think it still leans on containers as a crutch. Having been in security and build too long, it's a no from me.
Why dont you like containers?
Selfhost your own instance of Immich. It's an open source Google Photos clone, but with better features!
Nextcloud self hosted. Pikapods is European and super easy but someone else can chime in with Canadian options.
Immich
Its nice, but Memories app as part of Nextcloud is better and Nextcloud completes the rest of the Google suite (Drive, Calendar, Notes, Reader, Podcasts, Hangouts)
If you're going to put in the time, Nextcloud has more value.
I absolutely love this app. I dropped my iCloud Photos and moved to this self hosted via docker.
I paid the base license for this. I now they’ve changed the way they do things for the underlying license, but for me, it’s been great!
Why is it impossible to find the price for the non self hosted version
Do they even offer a hosting service? I think the product is just the software.
I use Syncthing to keep various folders synced between my desktop, laptop, phone and tablet.
Most of the folders are just between laptop and desktop (writing, art, etc...) and my phone's camera folder is set up to share to the desktop so it syncs as soon as I take a picture.
Sync.com
While it's not an exact replacement in that it does all files, we have been happy with our recent switch. They have a desktop and mobile apps that handle all the syncing.
Hey, that's a great suggestion! I was wondering if there was a Canadian service like this.
