I’m kind of surprised I’ve struggled with this so long. Right now I’ve been using nextcloud camera upload, and mostly it works ok but shits the bed once in a while without me noticing and I need to spend time fixing it and it’s never as simple as turning it off and on again.

I recently tried syncthing, and while it works, it frequently crashed and got stuck in a state where it says it’s on and working by my destination folder is shown as disconnected, and the options to restart syncthing from the side menu are greyed out and the only way to make it work again is by force closing it and reopening it.

I’m running vanilla stock Google Android and truenas, does anyone have a better solution?

    As others has posted. Immich or photoprism. But, i’d check your settings, nextcloud instant upload and syncthing work wonders for me.

      I wasn’t aware that either of these had a syncing feature. How well does immich work? I’ve been looking to switch to it from phptoprism for a while

        Sorry. Couldnt help you with that. I use nextcloud and syncthing myself.

        Havent try immich but i heard immich was the next best thing, be aware though, last i heard even the dev said the app was in active development so things might break.

          I think it’s because I have 150GB of photos on 2 different phones and don’t clean them out often.

        I’m getting my first server up and running and always considered getting immich. But lately I’m leaning towards photoprism because of updates breaking immich sometimes apparently and photoprism being more mature(?).
        Why do you want to switch?

      Photoprism recommends you download a $5 app. It works ok enough, but they are clearly trying to monetize.
