integration_google VS recognize

I have not used it myself, but Nextcloud does have a Google importer tool that includes Photos import - https://nextcloud.com/blog/easy-migration-to-nextcloud-from-.... It looks like the tool is basically in maintenance mode currently which should mean it works reasonably well - https://github.com/nextcloud/integration_google.

If ARM, see if this is the same issue: https://github.com/nextcloud/recognize/issues/688

Yes, you need to install the Recognize app (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/recognize)

When you upload new photos, recognize should automatically schedule jobs to process them. You can check the ocjobs table in your database for recognize related entries and check oc_recognize*queue tables for files that have been queued for processing. Hope that helps.

I think this Nextcloud-App is using it: Recognize

For context Im wanting to set it up to use with Recognize in Nextcloud.

I already use recognize in my home NAS. It works fine but it's a NextCloud app (it uses tensorflow through face-api.js). I want something portable and easy to use similar to Google Picasa.

I haven't used them but there are a couple of plugins for NextCloud that do just that. Eg: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/recognize

No because doing that on your phone for each and every photo is a bit too much to me, but you should definitely try the server side Recognize app and/or the Face Recognition app! Face Recognition is supported natively in the app and Recognize is supported indirectly via tags.

Sort of...not well. There is an app for NextCloud called Recognize [1].

It has gotten significantly better in the last year or so, but it's still pretty bad and pretty slow.
