notify_push VS previewgenerator

They started doing that where it matters in 24. See, for example, https://github.com/nextcloud/notify_push

They call it High Performance Backend for Files but all I can find is one repo on github with Rust called notify_push. But it's just a push notification server to off load clients periodic checking for updates against nc server.

I would love more information about this. Nextcloud being slow as hell is my biggest problem with it. Personally I always blamed it on PHP. The new Rust backend was promising but it doesn't support Docker deployments.

I couldn't use the systemd instructions in https://github.com/nextcloud/notify_push as I use docker-compose. So had to work out how to get it to work.

1) While it's described in glowing terms in the release notes, the instructions are unclear. I performed a manual update to 21 by changing my docker-compose tag to pull nextcloud:21-apache which went fine 2) Excited to use this new storage backend, I went to the repo to find the setup instructions. Hot tip: the app is called "client push;" not, as the instructions state, "notify_push" 3) Cool cool so I've got the app installed, now I just need to run occ notify_push:setup in my app container to set it up, right? Wrong:

Next thing would be to install the "preview generator" app, as it will generate the preview images in the background and when you scroll through your photos it will use the smaller preivew images. https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator

To make it a better, you could run the app Preview generator: it will generate a thumbnail at the size you want (e.g. 300x300) for each photo. At least, the thumbnails would show quickly. It can take some time and CPU, so preferably run it at night.

As far as i know this is currently not implemented. Here is a ticket of what one would need to do.

Runs just like the other preview backends, if you want it to run on a schedule use previewgenerator

https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator Pre-generates previews, can be scheduled.

You could also use the preview generator app to pre-generate your thumbnails (https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator). I have mine on a cron job running every 5 mins.

you can download and enable preview generator from apps section and can run a cron job for generating new previews when new files are added.. https://github.com/nextcloud/previewgenerator

You can use this and setup a cronjob but it is a bit of an odd way of doing it: https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/previewgenerator
