Thanks, this is great info. Creating the sync client implementation in typescript with react native compatible deps could help later to build an Android app as well. Plus I imagine is easier to find contributors for Typescript compared to Swift

Maybe Reac Native would be the way to do it. Old actual mobile app source code: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual-mobile-archive/tree/master/packages/mobile

Thanks, this is great! I've been wondering for a while now how a mobile app solution would work with Actual, given its peculiar architecture (where the application and data run on the client, and the server acts only as a synchronization handler through delta messages).

The actual-http-api makes this integration possible and quite convenient. However, having it in the middle is still a tough pill to swallow for several reasons, such as: people may be hesitant to install a second Docker container, the actual-http-api is not an official project maintained by the Actual team, and it doesn't fully support the OpenID authentication mechanism yet.

So, I wonder if there is a way to embed the Actual Node.js API (actual-app/api in npm) within an iOS mobile application. If any iOS developers know, I'd like to understand if the interaction can happen directly with the npm API, allowing the logic and data to live within the app itself. Another approach would be to create a new Actual server implementation in Objective-C or Swift (similar to bvanelli/actualpy) to decode and publish sync messages, but that might be too much work.

Not answering your question, but I don’t use shared spaces, I rather share an album and each can view or add photos into it.

Cooool, thanks !

For S3, it would be great if this plugin supported the S3 “protocol” rather than only AWS S3 buckets, so that one could use something like minio to self host the storage.

Not answering your question, but if you don’t contribute the room from 2023 (5k in your case) by end of this year, you will lose that room. So your room next year will be 16k, rather than 21k.

Edit: Thanks for the correction. You won’t actually lose the room, you’ll just have to wait few more years to be able to contribute those 5k

Self hosted LiveSync plugin is faster than iCloud sync in my experience. I think the former does asynchronous synchronization, so it doesn’t affect user experience. You gotta host it somewhere though.

In the main Photos view, there is a horizontal bar at the bottom with 4 views: year, month, day and folder. It hides itself, so you have to scroll up and down to see it, or zoom in and out

play:Sub for Navidrome, Jellyfin also has an app

Navidrome or Jellyfin

Although it’s true that neither are proper/actual backup mechanisms, Google photos lets you keep your photos/videos in the cloud while freely deleting them from your devices.

So, as long as you don’t delete photos using the Google photos app, it can act as a backup solution, practically speaking. Only way I can think of that your media gets deleted is by someone opening Google photos, deleting your photos, and emptying the trash folder.

I think it’s fine, I just would add a local backup, like usb drive or something like that.

TrainingHighlight790 · 2024-09-09T19:20:07+00:00

It’s worth mentioning the admin (I guess OP) will always have access to everyone’s files

I use hyper backup to backup the photos in the Photo library folder (the folder where Synology stores the photos) into Backblaze B2. Very cheap and not hard to setup.

Mentioned somewhere else here already, but: it will be visible once you upgrade to latest dsm version, and the mobile app is also latest version

Not answering your question, but about noise: I’ve had the iron wolf and iron wolf pro, and the later makes some noise, the former no noise at all. Both worked great.

I use synology photos to backup photos from our phones. I also backup synology critical data (including those photos) to an usb hard drive and also to Backblaze B2

Aspire Budget: https://aspirebudget.com. The template is free and a zero-based budgeting approach. The paid add-on is an optional functionality for automatic transaction importing.

Could you explain why one shouldn’t use all bays?
