Any Google Photos alternative except Nextcloud

@ruihildt Thanks for your prompt response. Maybe I should give Nextcloud a try. One more question belonging the migration. Do I do a Google takeout and upload the pics to the NC folder or has been there any extension? What I experienced in the past is that not all pictures were sorted by date after uploading.

The options for photo syncing are unfortunately not too great, however Emby has a mobile app which also syncs photos and videos to your server. In my opinion it also is better suited for pictures and videos than Nextcloud as a pure file syncer.

@nebulon Thanks, that sounds great. I will have a look at it.
Seconds ago I read again of some strange behavior of Nextcloud's photo handling: https://www.bitblokes.de/android-client-fuer-nextcloud-eine-sache-die-mich-total-nervt/

@nebulon After doing a little research piwigo seems to be the most interesting solution. As I can see in the forum, you stopped working on it?

Piwigo has some authentication issues. We asked in their GitHub tracker but nobody replied - https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo/issues/1138

I think one of the most promising photo apps I have seen is https://photoprism.org/

@girish Is there any change to get on Cloudron as app? It is the last point for me to clarify degooglefy

[girish]

@Captain-Kirk Yes, @nebulon has met the authors of that in person (they are based in berlin as well). They asked us to wait a bit till they release a stable version which is probably coming in a month or two.

@girish @nebulon that would be great. Yes I read it, my hood

I believe Filerun (https://www.filerun.com/) will install in a LAMP container. I really like it personally for storing and managing my photos and other media. Since I always move my photos off my iPhone manually, uploading them to my Filerun installation doesn't require the iPhone necessarily (this is because I let Apple's convoluted iCloud mess "backup" whatever photos it sees, but then I treat the photos that I manually move off the iPhone as the originals and back them up to an external drive, and upload the ones I want to be viewed to the Filerun installation, thereby making it the 3rd backup).

As i could read in the forum it has not been updated anymore. But that would a good substitute for Google Docs. But here I will investigate some time in researching in the onlyoffice suite. Maybe that fits to my needs. Thanks @scooke, every idea is welcome. My plan is degooglefy my digital presence, and I am very pampered as a current G-Suite user.
