I haven't executed yet, but please do ask or challenge any of my steps. On my iPhone I'm going to be using Snapseed. Delete or backup your MacBook photo library and/or recently exported photos.ġ0) you will need to come up with a download-edit-save workflow on your iPhone and MacBook. You should be able to see them without thumbnails in your iphone moments app fairly immediately.Ĩ) as 7 but direct the export directly to the moments folder on the mounted NAS driveĩ) turn off iCloud upload/sync. They all copy across at the speed of your local lan, and then moments will spend a few days chewing and indexing and creating thumbnails. Once copied, drag the entire folder structure to the moments folder in the mounted NAS drive. You have to choose between unmodified or modified, and I'm not sure if I can export to the mounted Nas drive (yes - step7, no - step8)ħ) export to the MacBook, this will create another set of photos on top of your existing photo library so you will need space. Check 'backup new photos only'ĥ) even though the photo library exists on the MacBook ignore itĦ) on the MacBook, in iCloud, export all photos from iCloud.

Enable home folderģ) install moments app on iphone.

This is my intended workflowġ) on the assumption that you are in the unboxing and not-yet-set-up phase of NAS ownership, then set-up your user account on NAS. I am about to migrate from IPhone/Photos/iCloud to iPhone/NAS220+/Moments. I assume Docker will be there but not sure if I would have to reinstall or reconfigure what I do now. One hesitation is not wanting to learn a bunch that will not be applicable in DSM7. I have to learn the terminology first so I know what people are referring to. I appreciate the patience of those who know and are willing to share their expertise. I am a hands on person and need to try something before I fully understand it. I am glad this forum is here so I can 'learn-up' as fast as the brain can take it. I have learned an enormous amount from them and enjoy sharing what I know to those less aware. Some downright hostile! The other forums are not related to tech. I've tried a bunch and found the people who run them to not manage the behaviors, and enforce rules of decorum. You confirmed what I was thinking though. Believe me I'v got the enthusiasm but missing a lot of the background as I've been in the 'desert' a long time. Setting up things I've been thinking about for a long time.

Trouble is, went from 0 to full speed in a day and I have been a bit overwhelmed with setting up the house for wifi and running PoE cable. 'All' I had to do was dig a trench 500 feet across the pasture to the pole on the road from the house. they were smart and ran 1 Gb fiber optic cable. That was our internet! Our town decided to finally make their own service. I could get the wifi signal in the den on the iPad and screen shared to tv. Plugged the truck battery into a 4 amp battery tender and turned on ignition. We live at a high elevation so got 2 bars cell In one area. Because of where our home is we couldn't even get satellite. I know this sounds crazy, but I live in a corner of New England on the east slopes.

I jumped into this because I wanted to make my information safe, easy to access from afar and have my laptop as empty as possible. Thanks in advance for any and all constructive thoughts.

a retired math teacher so have a few marbles. I am just not experienced in this but want to learn. I read a few threads on using Docker (honestly I haven't a clue what I was doing and tried to 'install' a Docker 'platform' (?) for photos (a program (container?) called Piwigo1) it's there now but still I am over my head. So I backed out of that and need to purge all those files. it is a gnarled mess of seemingly neither order, rhyme not reason. In tried practicing by moving (LABORIOUS!) to Moments.then Photo Station. I am at the bottom of the curve with lack of prior knowledge base. If someone could point me to a Synology tutorial or YouTube that would be great. I just want to move all to Synology Photos and then be able to delete them from my Mac. My laptop (MBP 2021) has 5 libraries with a total of about 200 Gb of photos and some videos. and no doubt it's me and my limited skill level (a 220+ Raid 1 : 4T/4T). I have looked for tutorials as well as threads.
