Awesome work! That's what I call a review and comparison, wonderful! If you are into photos, self hosting and things, this actually is very useful information what system / application to test drive and maybe even avoid right from the start. I've seen some of your other videos as well, the world needs more content like you do.. o) Like + Sub, thank you and have a nice day! o)
I'm in the process of picking a self hosted photo storage system and your detailed analysis helps a lot to see the pros and cons of each one. Thak you!!!
I'm not running it right now as I'm testing Memories photos. But I checked my config files and nothing is hard coded for classification at all. So all I can show really is what I showed in the various menu settings from 42:22 in the video.
Thank you! Yes, I know the videos can be a bit long, but I feel it is important to cover all that can be said at the time. It also saves others so much time, maybe not having to install something that does not suit them. I realised, too, that online demo sites don't really let you test everything properly.
Thanks for a great walkthrough! I am running TrueNAS where I have my photos, and right now the closest to this I have is PLEX (not really close at all!). If I want to run LibrePhotos - can I point that straight to a folder in TrueNAS and get these benefits, or should I first set up NextCloud on the NAS, and then use that integration? Thanks :)
You could point to it yes on TrueNAS as long as that location can be accessed from the LibrePhotos container - I did that for my existing Piwigo photos by mounting that remote location as a volume when creating the LibrePhotos container. Only thing is LibrePhotos seems to only have one scanphotos location (if I'm remembering correctly now) per user account. I think Immich may have allowed multiple to be added. Reason why I say this is, that if you were to upload new photos into LibrePhotos, they get physically uploaded then to the root of where you mapped into TrueNAS. I'd test it first just to see if you'd be happy with that. Photos I uploaded into LibrePhotos were on my Piwigo location, but not visible or usable by Piwigo at all.

Wow thanks! I do try keep it down to Earth to give a feel of what any user would experience when using it. Hope you have a great day too!!

Thanks for that feedback, glad the videos could help a bit!
So far one of the best open source I've seen. Which algorithm did you use for classification?

Another great video full of information. 🙌🏻✨
Thanks so much!
It's the best one I found that it could be installed without docker... if you know other better without docker, I'm open! thanks :)
I think Memories for NextCloud may also work, but I need to review it soon still.
Thank you for this very detailed video!

@@GadgeteerZA it's a feature, not a bug 🙂
