Just joined the F-droid family. Looking for alternatives to Google photos
Agreed Nextcloud photos is rubbish. I used a tool on my photo directory in NextCloud to sort my photos by date and ran a scan afterwords to have NextCloud recognize the change. Not ideal but it worked. Looking for an app to point at that directory, but I don't think I am sold on PhotoPrismI am hoping Photonix adds video support because it looks great.
- F*ck Google, here are some self-hosted alternatives.
- Pixel 5 and 4a 5G discontinued in U.S.
