Just had NextCloud denying my credentials (not for the first time). I know they weren’t wrong because I’m using a password manager. Logs didn’t say much. Was about to reinstall (again, not the first time nextcloud went bonkers on me) before I tried a docker compose down && docker compose up. Lo and behold after a restart the credentials worked again.

This stuff is just way too flaky for something so important.

Is OwnCloud good again? My main usecase is saving photos but I don’t want them locked away in a database so SeaFile is out.

Edit: I’m going to take the time to reply to you all, bit busy with work and family suddenly. But a little update - I’ve quickly setup Immich and fired up the CLI to import my library. AFAIK the files are still stored on disk somewhere but metadata is in a database. I didn’t realize this before, knowing that I think my mind is made up and Immich is the best solution. Thanks everyone!

    I have been digging through the features and documentation- and I plan on giving it a try.

    Photoprism locks user accounts behind a paid subscription.

    We have been asking for a password for “private” photos, for a few years now… and yea, still don’t have that feature. I did notice photoprism jumped on the subscription train a while back, but, have not paid too much mind to it.

    But, seeing the beautiful interface of this, I will be trying it.
