I have it and immich set up. Nextcloud memories is fine, but for me the auto upload would randomly stop at some points. Overall ux with immich is better, but memories gets the job done.

I use FolderSync to push my photos to Nextcloud. Much more reliable than their app

Does that automatically add it to the database or do you have a scan schedule?

[–] speculate7383@lemmy.today 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I don't use Memories, but yes, uploading photos with FolderSync to Nextcloud (via WebDAV) does add them to the Nextcloud database. They show up as new photos in the recent activities list.

Ah, that makes sense. Didn't realize FolderSync went through the WebDAV protocol. I'm used to manually copying things to my nextcloud drive and running a scan.

I think Memories schedules its scan with the normal cron job for Nextcloud
