I use NextCloud for photo syncing. There is an iOS app. One thing to watch for is that by default iOS uses an odd file format for photos and video. The format is readable in Linux but not usually by default. There’s a setting to change the format somewhere but I forgotten where it is. Not sure if it was in iOS settings or the Nextcloud app’s in-app settings.
HEIC? Not that odd, it's essentially a H265 single frame (and video is just H265). You can change it in camera settings but the alternative is JPEG. Blegh.
So I’m old. HEIC caused me a few headaches when I first ran across it. I get that it’s “better” but of all the nerdages I can claim, photo or camera nerd isn’t one of them. JPEGs have generally been good enough for my needs.
