After a lot of work, and a lot of trying, I couldn’t find FOSS software that properly syncs my family’s photos in the background (tried Immich, still not good enough despite the new beta timeline, kinda worked in 1.136, got kinda broken on 1.138, tried Nextcloud, but still haven’t gotten new photos to sync in the background. Ente is waaaay too complicated, with waaaay too many moving parts that can break). Given all of this, I gotta choose some prebuilt nas that can properly sync. I don’t like synology but apparently their background sync is ok. What about Qnap and Ugreen? Are they ok?
I use resilio sync to back up my photos to the NAS. Then have scripts to import them into photoprism. Sync runs on two machines so I always have two copies of pictures.
I also use next cloud as a second back up system.
I run Immich which makes me really happy. Maybe you should give it another try…
I am currently using it, but the lack/failures of background sync on iOS is what is really blocking me from it
why not keep the 1.136 immich version ruinning
Because you can’t version control the app too
You can pin versions in your dock-compose.yaml file if you’re running it as a container. If you’ve installed bare metal then idk.
My point is not being apple to pin the iOS app version
Ah, misunderstood what you meant my bad.
@First_Thunder Seafile might be worth looking into
I was using PhotoSync quite successfully until I’ve switched to iCloud.
Nowadays, my MacBook is configured to always download all photo originals. And my Photo Library is then backed up to my NAS using CCC. This allows easy restore in case something goes wrong, as I can either restore the whole library or open the backup library and pull out what’s needed. If that fails, there’s also osxphotos to work with the library.
