What do you guys use to self-host your cat photos? Does your solution include (cat-) face recognition?

    I personally use NextCloud Memories! It works really well. Unfortunately two drawbacks:

    • Its recognition can mostly get "animal" but I imagine it misses a lot of "cat." I also put in custom tags "Cat - (name)" to differentiate, but that's not automatic and I'm sure my collection is imperfect.

    • Facial recognition; it only recognizes like the first face it sees? It can't handle multiple people in an image. Really strange. The face recognition is also currently limited to humans. Big whomp-whomp!

    But as for integration with the rest of NextCloud, Memories is quite fantastic and I like it a lot. :)

    (If you wanna mess with NextCloud, I HIGHLY recommend the AIO (all in one) install)

    Thanks for the hint! I've heard that self-hosting Nextcloud is a gigantic handful, it's supposed to need a lot of attention to maintain?

    Personally I've had a lot of luck running NextCloud AIO on OpenMediaVault, on my little server machine running ProxMox.

    The nice thing is you can keep your data drives separate, and take snapshots of the OpenMediaVault virtual machine before you update NextCloud, and if something goes wrong , you can roll it back without losing stuff stored on it!

    (Sorry I could be better at describing this stuff)

    AIO makes it a lot more convenient to maintain. It has a backup solution built in using Borg Backup, and it automates updates when you tell it to update. Usually the update process is a bit more...fraught and hands-on running bare metal.

    NextCloud can back itself up as mentioned, but I use Proxmox's snapshots in case the little web portal to do all that breaks, which has happened before. But super rarely!

    Haha sorry this is a bit of a mess, I'm at work right now XD
