@zutari welcome to the Nextcloud community :waving_hand: and thanks for supporting Nextcloud snap [image] zutari: I have a disk mounted to my home server in /mnt/nextcloud-storage/myname. When I try to add it via the external storage app, it is not able to see it. The interface providing th…

@zutari as a side note, looking at your app list, you’ve installed some third party apps that are known to cause issues with the snap: see FAQ’s [image] zutari: previewgenerator: 5.8.0 recognize: 9.0.1 memories: 7.5.2 especially: third party app incompatibility and: known incompatible third…

Oh no. The only reason I have nextcloud is for memories. That means I need to use the docker version after all? As for the other two, I disabled them. Does this mean that I need to start from scratch? I was resolving a static IP address issue I had so I did not try the removable-media solution yet. …

[image] zutari: Oh no. The only reason I have nextcloud is for memories. sorry to hear that… Similar to Recognize the Memories app tries to load tensorflow in node.js and will bump into glibc 2.27 and fail, so the Memories app won’t work with the snap until this issue is solved. alternative…

I really appreciate your replies here. I guess I can deal with the photos app until memories is fixed in snap. I heard that immich is not fully developed so it is a bit unstable, but I am considering it as well. Do you know if memories is something that I can just install once it’s working again a…

[image] zutari: Do you know if memories is something that I can just install once it’s working again and it will work pretty flawlessly? the devs are working on it… there are some issues, but then I’m just the support guy :grin:. once its implemented we’ll do the necessary testing and it shou…

[image] zutari: It’s just a private server for my gf and I to store our photos so we don’t have to pay for google storage. yeah, i wouldn’t give up my data sovereignty and pay for it too… you’re better off hosting your own private Nextcloud snap using default photos app. Especially since you’…

Oh I’m sorry if it came off as I was rushing anyone. I’m very glad to have a free alternative to the tech giants. I have even heard of google claiming there are illegal photos and closing the accounts of people with pictures of their baby taking a bath. I moreso meant to ask if the memories app use…

[image] zutari: Oh I’m sorry if it came off as I was rushing anyone no worries… [image] zutari: I moreso meant to ask if the memories app use the same photos as are in the default photos app, or will I have to migrate them to memories somehow (if you know). being a snap user myself, I…

@zutari welcome to the Nextcloud community and thanks for supporting Nextcloud snap

The interface providing the ability to access removable media is not automatically connected upon install, so if you’d like to use external storage (or otherwise use a device in /media or /mnt for data), you need to give the snap permission to access removable media by connecting that interface:

sudo snap connect nextcloud:removable-media

happy snapping
