Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to have my iPhone’s photos be automatically (or even manually) backed up/synced with my home server.

I heard about photo prism here and got it up and running, however I could not find a free app that lets you sync. Photo sync is their main recommendation and it puts high quality photo backup behind premium.

Is there any solution that lets you backup your photos through home wifi?

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks to the suggestions, I found this handy chart listing many and comparing them: https://meichthys.github.io/foss_photo_libraries/

    I had it on a beefy server too. Glad that it works for you, every nextcloud thread on social media has a discussion like ours.

      Yea, it’s not the first time I’ve seen this discussion either.
      I don’t wanna seem like I’m not believing you or belittling your experience, I just find it weird that we (we, users, as a whole, not just you and I) have such wildly different experiences with it.

      As is, I have a vastly better experience with my own nextcloud than with corporate’s onedrive, with more stuff on mine.

      Wish I knew why it’s so inconsistent.
      Even though my nextcloud experience is fine, I know plenty of people with the opposite.
