Here’s my Nextcloud setup https://github.com/lastlink/nextcloud-docker-ml-example. I essentially use their official recognize plug-in and run cron commands from it to scan regularly. Note I don’t think a raspberry pi is strong enough to do image recognition. But I have facial scans, and tagging (dog, cat) working. The default Nextcloud docker/ root install needs a few dependencies for the plugins to use which is why you have to customize your docker image using the official Nextcloud base image.

If it’s a Linux host you can bind the drives as devices to the docker. if windows you need to do a cron job with smartctl to pass drive status to the docker scrutiny container see example https://github.com/lastlink/nextcloud-docker-ml-example/blob/main/additional_services/scrutiny/readme.md

Here’s my backup scripts in powershell. I delete old backups https://github.com/lastlink/nextcloud-docker-ml-example/tree/main/scripts

https://github.com/lastlink/nextcloud-docker-ml-example Facial scanning dependencies work. Dependency check, Nextcloud has a decent phone and desktop app. There are some alternatives (not in the photo list) that have better syncing that Nextcloud but Nextcloud has desktop, mobile apps, and facial recognition.
