I want to consider a new photo management category, so I’m going to post some tools in that category which are worth looking into.
I have looked into this too. The biggest and most important downside right now is that it has no multiuser support. You can only have one account in a self hosted server. As a family person, I cannot endorse this to the rest of the members. The AI facial recognition feels gimicky as well, and the UI while looking good, feels like it could improve a lot. But other than the above cons, it seems like an ok solution to host photos during the short time I’ve tried it.
I also have not tried the mobile app client for this, just the web app for the desktop.
I plan to stop using Nextcloud because it feels too clunky and probably needs a clean rewrite from the bottom up.
