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.

I don't really see Immich and NextCloud as being completing products, it just depends on what you're trying to do. Do you want to self-host your own files regardless of file type? Use NextCloud. Do you want a self-hosted tool similar to Google Photos for use with images only? Use Immich. I use both.

Thank you, your reply made me understand the two services better. I will setup immich for now and I will install nextcloud for my files at a later date.

Simply put, nextcloud = Google drive. Immich = Google photos
