The best image gallery software is Nextcloud Memories.
Is it the best or is it just the one you use? Have you used both? Recently? Immich has changed a lot in the past year or two.
IMO just the fact that it's a NextCloud thing kinda sucks
Having used both, immich wins by a landslide. I was initially waiting until it got to a stable release, but it's already so much better. I'd recommend anyone to just use immich.
Louis discusses his experience with Nextcloud in the first portion of the video.
For him, Nextcloud's gallery app runs much slower than Immich. The Nextcloud app only supports proxy image previews but no proxy video previews, which Immich does.
Memories and Gallery (actually deprecated by photos) are not the same thing, just to clarify. I'm not in a position to agree or disagree with any of the statements here since I've never used immich, but I don't want people to think that the default photo viewer in nextcloud is what was being discussed here.
I don’t think some readers liked this comment. Care to elaborate on how you think memories is better than immich?
I already had nextcloud, never used immach. But I installed memories a few minutes ago, and it seems fast enough. The android app actually works. Truth be told I might still try immach at some point but installing memories was easy to get started with since i already have nextcloud. seems to build on the main in photos app so I'm not too worried about it being a 3rd party addon.
Cool. Don’t know if you replied to the wrong person but this context might be better suited to be a parent comment.
The person I replied to made a claim and I wanted them to back it up. Since you haven’t even tried “immich”, with an I, I’m not sure what you hoped to get out of this interaction.
Good point maybe where I should start is why I never moved to immich in the first place. I have a digital camera as well as a phone, somr photos I process on my workstation. It has the nextcloud app syncing images so I can update files easily using photo editing programs on my workstation. This setup works well for me. I don't really want to move away from nextcloud if I don't need to.
Moving to immich looks like I either change my existing process or I use and external album since there is no nextcloud adapter.
The external album setup looked like more work and since I already have nextcloud making it work slightly better for storing photos is a more appealing solution for the time being
Nextcloud is so slow though, I just wish they would fix the performance of it. Taking 2+ seconds to load a file browser is crazy.
NC has also had some major data loss/corruption bugs I've been hit with, I switched away from it because I was tired of the bugs.
It actually looks great. I'm surprised to see that to be honest. But I use next cloud only as an alternative to Google drive. I find most of the times I can't make apps work and risk breaking my next cloud installation. But if it works for you, awesome 👍
