Nextcloud Photos is a basic gallery for viewing and managing your photos. First set up your client devices, so that Nextcloud will automatically keep your photos synced.
Clients available for:
Android
Photos is included by default and there will be an icon in your top menu for “Photos.” Click it and you will be in the web UI viewing your gallery.
Les Pas is a great mobile gallery for viewing and organizing your photos, gifs, and videos.
First, install Les Pas from your favorite app store (Aurora, F-Droid, or Play Store), or from the github repository.
At the welcome screen, you will be asked to either enter your server URL or scan a QR code. In your Nextcloud instance, click the top-right menu -> Personal Settings -> Hamburger (3 lines) Menu > Security > Devices & Sessions > “Create new app password.” Hit “Show QR Code” and then scan it with Les Pas.
You’ll be sent to your Nextcloud instance to log in and grant access to the app.
That’s it! You’re ready to view your photos with no third party involved!
