I’ve seen a lot of recommends for Immich on here, so I have an idea what the answer here is going to be, but I’m looking for some comparisons between it and Photoprism I’m currently using Synology Photos, and I think my biggest issue is it’s lack of metadata management. I’ve gotten around that with MetaImage and NeoFinder. I’m considering moving to something not tied to the Synology environment.

With any serious number of photos Nextcloud starts loading for minutes

What is this serious number you have in mind? I'm the first one thinking that some of the design choices behind nextcloud are laughable, and that their attitude towards code quality and best practices is inadequate, but even then I don't think this threshold is easily reached.

Well. It just stopped working after the 2k items mark for me. Had to increase php memory and all for almost 6GB to make it work. Still sluggish AF. It’ll be just my file bucket for now on. EDIT: I will like to add, Immich is now with 32k assets for me, working flawlessly and only using 300MB when active of memory.

I am about 3 orders of magnitude beyond you in terms of content, and I host that on 2GB RAM and a CPU that scores 440 on CPU benchmark.net . You might want to check your configuration, perhaps starting from the database (I use PG), then server (php-fpm). I don't even use redis for caching, just the basic APC.

Great to know! Something is really odd on my instance. The DB is definitely working well on its own, all the queries are returned quite fast from what I gather on the monitoring side. Probably something odd on the server side. I'm using redis for caching, it helps a bit as it comes down to a halt without redis.

Nothing reported in the admin screen listing out config tips and missing indexes?

[–] FancyGUI@lemmy.fancywhale.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope, all I have is the default phone region not set.

[–] u_tamtam@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Interesting! It's hard to continue without more details, and I'm not an expert anyway, but something definitely should be off with your configuration :)

Thanks for trying though! Appreciate it. I'm happy to use nextcloud just for regular files for now anyways.
