Google Photos syncing to TrueNas
Google Photos syncing to TrueNas
Like many of us, I am trying to break free of depending on Google so much. I’ve made some progress in many areas thanks to this awesome community.
I take a lot of photos with my phone but I don’t know the best way to sync those photos into my TrueNas/Immich setup. I am aware of Takeout which I have used to seed it. I am also aware of gphotos-sync [https://pypi.org/project/gphotos-sync/] but Google has crippled their API and don't allow for Original quality photos with EXIF data.
What are you guys/gals doing to periodically sync their photos into your homelab?
Syncthing is pretty solid. Just set it up myself last weekend.
Whoa. I didn't know there was an app, I should have guessed! Thanks a lot.
Maybe I'm not understanding the framing of the question, but if you have Immich running on the server why would you be using the Immich app on your phone to handle backing up?
I use Immich, but Syncthing also works well.
I have a Nextcloud server that I setup (before Immich was a thing. I'm also running it now, but not using it for photo backup). I have accounts for my immediate family and all of our phones are setup to use the Instant Upload feature to back up photos.
