I want to get into selfhosting since I control of my data and not having to worry about copying my files everytime I flash a new is on my phone. The question is, should I use immich or next cloud? If immich is superior for photos, I don’t mind not having my files on the cloud. I will be self hosting on a rpi4 I have (if it’s possible)

Edit: Thank you all very much for the replies! I will install immich for now and probably setup nextcloud at a later date.

    Why not both? I’ve exposed my Nextcloud instance to www but don’t want to expose Immich. The Memories plugin for Nextcloud is great for sharing photos to family (I tend to share only photos from special events rather than everything).

    I have Nextcloud on a Pi5 8GB running an SSD. Immich currently on a Pi4B 4GB with external HDD.

      I only have one pi4 and an older pi3b. I don’t know if the pi3 can run one of them.
