I currently use Nextcloud and Immich, Nextcloud on iOS is garbage though, it can’t auto upload files if they are too big, even with the application open.

Immich is great, but is under very active development, so it could break any time. I take backups of the images and store it in my array, and external HDD and Google Drive (encrypted, nothing I upload to G drive is unencrypted). Immich is stores content in a complicated directory structure that goes 3-4 folders deep, I’m hoping to find something that just uploads all my photos and videos to a single folder or two.

iCloud only gives me 5GB, and it’s almost full, and I dont want to pay for G Drive and iCloud+.

Is there another solution I can use to just store photos on my server, that will auto upload from iOS without issue?

    After posting this I found that you can change the directory structure, but not too sure I want to change it now and break things. I’ll set my backup to only include the library folder, I could always run a script to take all the image and video files out and throw them into a single folder for a fresh start of immich or something similar.

    I use rclone as well, for uploading to G Drive.

      You can change the folder structure but I don’t think that matters. Rclone your libary folder and that’s it. If you want to save some space, exclude thumbs and encoded videos folder. You can take out videos and images if you ever need your backup.

      Never had any problems 🌞
