After that, I threw the whole folder into ExifRenamer. In my Nextcloud filesystem I ended up with a folder called “Photos” and inside one single folder for each album.
So I pulled the remaining files using the built-in export function and categorized them manually - which is somewhat of a struggle when having 15.000 photos. I tried various user-supplied scripts like this one from GitHub tymmej/ExportPhotosLibrary but for me it seemed to not export all the pictures because in the end, I had much less files then I had photos in my library before. Though there is a export functionality that at least keeps the names of the “Moments”. One of them obviously is a export function for pictures and videos that preserves the album categorization. Data migrationĪfter Apple discontinued iPhoto and replaced it with the new Photos.app there are still much features missing. So this this time is easy: It’s just about getting all of files out of the new Photos.app and uploading it using the ownCloud sync client.
USING EXIFRENAMER SERIES
In one of the previous parts of this series I set up my Nextcloud instance. One of the most important things in my setup is a solid and reliable way to synchronize Photos and videos I take. This article is part of the byeCloud series in which I try to replace iCloud with self-hosted services. In this article I will show you how I set up my photo synchronization using Nextcloud.
