Looking for an alternative to synology photos. I moved over to synology about 3 years ago and am now considering moving out of the synology ecosystem. I’m looking for something that has a decent android app, wifi syncing, shareable albums, all the standard stuff.

Edit: thanks for the many replies, I’ll likely move to nextcloud as I was planning on deploying that anyway as a synology drive replacement. I’ll look into immich as well.

    I’m super not knowledgeable about codecs and shit, but IIRC there’s one that the rpi 4 is just garbage at dealing with. x265 I think it’s called?

      I believe that’s right. What I would prefer is the ability to disable transcoding for certain video types (so go for it if it’s h264 and can be hardware transcoded), but AFAIK unfortunately disabling transcoding also drops thumbnail generation for videos.
