ente VS memories

I religiously use Google contacts. It's the simplest way to keep people contacts up to date on Android.

I archive all important documents in specific folders by subject and date. This is backed up to back blaze with restic. https://restic.net/

I use https://ente.io for pictures. I convinced my wife to use it, and she agreed to auto share her photos so I don't nag her for copies. It had simple import from Facebook and Google.

I also keep extensive journals, which really helps to tie it all together. I can basically grep for hangouts, conversations, etc.

I also separate work journal from personal, and have essentially a journal for each project. https://jodavaho.io/tags/bullet-journal.html for how.

I religiously use Google calendar for all plans, you can easily search it for past events to get dates.

I also use monicahq for some notes about things I should remember about people but the habit never stuck.

> How does one get their data out of the cloud ente.io - and into a self hosted instance of the server? Is there any data loss during this process?

Just to jump in cause I was curious myself. I think your question is answered here:

"Command Line Utility for exporting data from Ente"

https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/main/cli

Nextcloud with the "memories"-app. Works great and really snappy with 25k+ photos. Plus you have Nextcloud so file-sharing, calendar, etc. Installation is easy with Docker AIO. see https://memories.gallery for a demo

Might want to look into https://github.com/pulsejet/memories , which is a nextcloud app

This is a known issue in the latest Memories release and will be fixed in the next release: https://github.com/pulsejet/memories/issues/620

I was able to install Memories through the app store, and as per Configuration page, was able to successfully run occ memories:places-setup

I'll be honest in that I don't know if this meets all your requirements but I saw this a few weeks back: https://github.com/pulsejet/memories

Set up Nextcloud on it with https://github.com/pulsejet/memories.

The third option is to have separate photo libraries and just share albums with each other. But this option will not allow you to see your partner's photos from the shared albums in your timeline =( At least yet.

Does anyone know, How does search work and what kind of search terms are supported? I was looking here https://memories.gallery/ but could not find anything particular.
