I’m thinking seriously about getting Google out of my life, and trying NextCloud.

Looking to get a personal account through a managed provider.

Does anyone have any experience with it?

How does it compare to ownCloud?

Any hosts I should look at or avoid?

Any apps I should get for it, or avoid?

Any issues I should be aware of before I switch?

    I’m going to go ahead and disagree with Memories not doing photos well. If you have it and Recognize setup properly, they replicate nearly all google photos features.

      @Routhinator Maybe, but I had considerably less trouble setting Immich up than memories. I had to try to install extra stuff to the docker container itself, IIRC. I seem to remember python libraries and things needing to be installed. Immich, I just spun up and it worked. The hardest part was GPU passthrough, but that is not even a requirement to use it nor was it terribly difficult.

      That said, I moved on fairly quickly and respect your opinion. If it works for you, then it is the correct tool.

        Yeah this is maybe a difference between install choices. I used kubernetes and the helm chart. Recognize does not have a dedicated container, but the nextcloud container has GPU resources assigned using the Intel GPU operator, and that makes pass through easy. Much easier than vanilla docker.
