Browse Nextcloud Photos with Lychee

[marcusquinn]

Anyone got Lychee browsing Nextcloud photos?

IIRC, lychee uses it's own database and that complicates sharing data between apps.

I am trying it right now to see if it can replace my LAMP Piwigo app and Nextcloud, neither of which are giving me what I need

I was looking to automate importing photos and stumbled across Gustave's sync too. Sadly, it looks like it won't work on Cloudron because of dependencies.

My setup is:

• Hetzner Storagebox mounted as volume to Lychee container
• Manually importing photos from /media/storagebox using symlinks

So far, it works really well but the larger the albums grow the longer it takes to sync.
