David RevoyDown in a Rabbit Hole
I started the year with a big month of problem solving. Nothing really exciting, I mostly did home maintenance: cleaning, DIY, hard drive replacement, archiving, power supply replacement, setting up a home server, making better backups for all devices at home, centralizing family photo albums, converting media, etc... etc... It was a bit of a never-ending rabbit hole once you started down it. But a pleasant one, because all the various little improvements were immediately rewarding.
Bart Veldhuizen 🚀@davidrevoy oh! How did you solve the family photo albums? I’ve been looking for a good and Open solution for that..
@BartV Hey, yes. It was long: I had 5 sources, 24K photos, and archive up to 1900. All albums were merged, all files renamed+metadatas (with exiftool). Then I made a home server Debian + Nextcloud (docker) with the Nextcloud app "Memories". My phone and the one of my wife received an external SD card, and I sync now the 24K photos on all devices (our computers, phones).
I lost a lot of time because of bugs (eg. Trying Ubuntu serv + Nextcloud Snap), or testing galleries without exif date support.

@davidrevoy I’ll take a look at Memories, thanks!
