# Memories
|
|
|
|
**📷 Yet another photo management app for Nextcloud**
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## How is this different?
|
|
|
|
* **📸 Photo and Video Timeline**: Sorts photos by date taken, parsed from Exif data.
|
|
* **🤔 Quick Recap**: Jump to anywhere in the timeline instantly.
|
|
* **🖼️ Folders**: Browse your and shared folders with a similar, efficient timeline.
|
|
* **🎦 Slideshow**: View photos from your timeline and folders easily.
|
|
* **📱 Mobile Support**: Relive your memories on devices of any shape and size through the web app.
|
|
* **🗑️ Recycle**: Select and delete multiple photos and videos at once.
|
|
|
|
## 🚀 Installation
|
|
|
|
1. Install the app from the Nextcloud app store
|
|
1. ⚒️ Install `exiftool` (`sudo apt install exiftool`).
|
|
1. Run `php ./occ memories:index` to generate metadata indices for existing photos.
|
|
1. Open the 📷 Memories app in Nextcloud and set the directory containing your photos. Photos from this directory will be displayed in the timeline, including any photos in nested subdirectories.
|
|
1. Installing the [preview generator](https://github.com/rullzer/previewgenerator) for pre-generating thumbnails is strongly recommended.
|
|
|
|
## 🏗 Development setup
|
|
|
|
1. ☁ Clone this into your `apps` folder of your Nextcloud.
|
|
1. 👩💻 In a terminal, run the command `make dev-setup` to install the dependencies.
|
|
1. 🏗 Then to build the Javascript whenever you make changes, run `make build-js`. To create a pull request use `make build-js-production`. Watch changes with: `make watch-js`.
|
|
1. ✅ Enable the app through the app management of your Nextcloud.
|
|
1. 🎉 Partytime!
|
|
|
|
## Why a separate app?
|
|
The approach of this app is fundamentally different from the official Nextcloud Photos app, which is very lightweight and works entirely using webdav. This app instead maintains special metadata in a separate table on the backend, and thus can be considered to have different objectives.
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
1. The app has been tested with 100GB worth of ~25k photos.
|
|
1. 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`.
|
|
1. If local time is not found in the photo (especially for videos), the server timezone is used.
