Nextcloud is a suite of client-server software for creating and using file hosting services. Nextcloud is free and open-source, which means that anyone is allowed to install and operate it on their own private server devices.

I used linuxserver's version

• Network Type: Bridge
• Console shell command: Shell
• Privileged: off
• Host Port 1: 444
• Host Path 2: /mnt/user/nextcloud
• Key 1: 99
• Key 2: 100

• to convert images from HEIC to jpeg I installed imagemagick with brew on the Mac. Then used:

  magick mogrify -monitor -format jpg *.HEIC

  in a folder with the HEIC files.

• then add them to your nextcloud users Photos doc
• then add them to database with:

  sudo occ files:scan --all --verbose

  (this does all users)

• then add them to maps with:

  sudo occ maps:scan-photos -vvv
