From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I’m using Onlyoffice and it works really well. Although I use it with kDrive from Infomaniak, I’m almost sure you can run it on your own server.
In fact I managed to ditch Google for everything but I can’t find a good replacement for Google photos which I’m not using anymore.
Immich is trying to be that, but it's still in heavy development.
Also here a comparison of multiple ones: https://docs.librephotos.com/docs/user-guide/features/
Immich is working pretty well for me. Even the search does a decent job of recognizing the things in the pictures.
I'm not sure what Google photos has that Immich doesn't, and I've been using Google photos for years.
The mobile app sometimes gets stuck while updating new photos, or just doesn't run the upload in background even though it's activated. The web app looks and feels great though.
You do have to turn off battery saver for the background process. Phones tend to not like background processes. That would cause the behavior you're seeing.
Settings > Apps > App battery usage > Immich > Set to "unrestricted"
Also I have mine set to a ten minute delay, maybe that's why I haven't noticed. Maybe try adding a small delay to the load?
(Primarily I wanted a chance to delete photos before they uploaded.)
Thanks for the answer.
I remember looking at these but I think the fact that the pictures would be on my kDrive was also a problem.
Maybe with something like WebDAV it could work.
@Dariusmiles2123 @JoelJ
for photos, I decided to buy a raspberry pi two years ago and to host photos and videos for my familly, using a free software with application on mobile phones (ios and android).
The compagny has a hosted offer, but i prefered to do in my own.
software is: https://piwigo.org/
and forum is there: https://piwigo.org/forum/
Enjoy
If question don't hesitate.
Thanks for the answer.
I’d really want to keep my pictures on my kDrive and just have some remote access to the pictures via whatever protocol.
Maybe what I need doesn’t exist and I’ll have to wait until kDrive gets its own photo management tool😇
@Dariusmiles2123
kDrive is accessible under Ubuntu, Windows and MaOS, it means that piwigo should be able to manage photos store on kDrive.
I’ll give it a try then. Thanks
