+title: OpenBSD, Nextcloud, Memories and ExifTool
+date: 2024-07-01
+---
+
+## Why?
+
+I have setup an OpenBSD bare-metal server in an old SuperMicro enclosure.
+[Memories](https://apps.nextcloud.com/apps/memories) is known to be a great
+replacement for Google Photos and Co.
+
+However there are some quirks that needs to be fixed after a fresh install.
+
+## How?
+
+### Extiftool/ffmpeg
+
+Copy the ffmpeg, ffprobe and perl binaries in the */var/www* chroot, preserving
+their directory structure. Same for each of their libraries, retrieved with ldd.
+
+Copy the libdata perl5 directory in the */var/www* chroot.
+
+```
+mkdir /var/www/usr/local/libdata
+cp -r /usr/local/libdata/perl5 /var/www/usr/local/libdata
+```
+
+### Filecache template
+
+If for some reasons you can not preview the details of a file from Memories or
+share it, fire up an sql client and delete this non-existing file from its index
+*(thanks
+[nextcloud/server/#40886](https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/40886))*:
+
+```
+DELETE FROM oc_filecache
+WHERE path like '%merged-template-prepend.js.deps%';
+```
+
+### Memories Android client
+
+Edit the *config/config.php* file in your nextcloud root directory with the
+following lines *(thanks
+<https://help.nextcloud.com/t/problem-desktop-client-login-flow-v2/78279/2>)*:
+
+```
+'overwrite.cli.url' => 'https://<your.domain.here>',
+'overwritehost' => '<your.domain.here>',
+'overwriteprotocol' => 'https',
+```
+
+### Automation
+
+Most of these steps are automated at
+[roles/nextcloud/tasks/dependencies.yml](https://git.rgoncalves.se/_infrastructure/rules/tree/roles/nextcloud/tasks/dependencies.yml)
+
+```
