Installation

This page describes how to install the latest version of Memories.

Nextcloud

Memories is an app for Nextcloud, so you need to install Nextcloud first. You can find the installation instructions here. For the best experience, we recommend to use the latest stable version of Nextcloud and PHP.

For easy setup and maintenance, you can use the community Nextcloud Docker image, and add extra dependencies using a custom Dockerfile. A Docker Compose example can be found in the repository. Make sure to read the instructions in docker-compose.yml carefully.

Another option is to use Nextcloud AIO, in which case most dependencies are already installed.

Recommended Configuration

If you plan to use hardware transcoding, using Docker Compose or Nextcloud AIO is recommended.

Before installing Memories, make sure that the following requirements are met:

  1. Nextcloud 26 or later.
