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?
I wouldnt use immich like that.
You backup your images to immich.
Once there, you keep them there primarily and stream what you need (redownloading like it works on Google photos doesnt work like that as it stores the pictures in it’s own folder).
At least that’s how I use it.
Hm ok. I prefer to have a complete set of pictures on the phone in case the server goes to shit, as a third backup
I think I will stick to syncthing
