## ⚡ Performance
- Once properly configured, Memories is **extremely fast**, possibly one of the fastest web photo viewers.
- On a server with relatively cheap hardware (`Intel Pentium G6400 / 8GB RAM / SSD`), loading the timeline takes only `~400ms` without cache on a laptop (`Intel Core i5-1035G1 / Windows 11 / Chrome`) for a library of `~17000 photos` totaling `100GB`. The test was performed on Nextcloud 24 with `nginx`, `php-fpm` and `mariadb` running in Docker.
- For best performance, install the [preview generator](https://github.com/rullzer/previewgenerator) and make sure HTTP/2 is enabled for your Nextcloud instance.
## 📝 Notes
- You may need to configure the Nextcloud preview generator and Imagemagick / ffmpeg to support all types of images and videos (e.g. HEIC). If using the official docker image, add `OC\Preview\HEIC` to `enabledPreviewProviders` in your `config.php`.
- If local time is not found in the photo (especially for videos), the server timezone is used.
- All photos in the timeline _must_ be on a single storage. For example, you cannot have a mounted directory inside your photos directory.
- The app can work with external storage for photos. Just set the mountpoint as the timeline directory.
- If you add any photos from outside Nextcloud, you must run the scan and index commands.
- Indexing may be slow, since all files must be downloaded from the storage. The app currently assumes that the Exif data is present with the first 20MB of each file.

- Indexing may be slow, since all files must be downloaded from the storage. The app currently assumes that the Exif data is present with the first 20MB of each file.
- The archive feature moves photos to a separate folder called `.archive` at the root of your timeline. You can use this, for example, to move these photos to a cold storage.
