I've been looking for something like this. My wife and I each have a separate Apple Photos library. I'd love it if we could have a combined backup solution. Could we keep using Photos and back up to this, or would it be better to ditch Photos and just switch over?
This looks like something that I might use, but > Expect bugs and breaking changes. I get it's the pretty normal to go through fixing bugs, but for a backup solution the core of it should be stable or I would not use it
Try it. Adopt it. :) Just a few weeks ago, facial recognition was added and that was it for me. I finally made the switch from Google Photos and iCloud to immich. It's your self-hosted google photos alternative, with image recognition, a map, sharing folders publicly, or with other users on your server. Some parts will be buggy though, like face detection, or memories. But the whole "backup & sync" part is very relia…
From what I can tell, Immich, Ente, and PhotoPrism are the best of the batch when it comes to open source photo storage and management. They are all good, but it depends on what you’re looking for.
Personally, I want: E2E encryption, on-device face recognition, and the ability to self-host as well as a paid option for people who don’t want to manage their own server. The existing options each hit about 90% of that, but it’s a different 90% for each one.
1) Anyone try Backblaze for photo backups? Is it worth trying?
2) Why is immich photo and video only?
3) Why docker? I miss the days of just files and scripts on any host.

Trying to get off dropbox. 1) Anyone try Backblaze for photo backups? Is it worth trying? 2) Why is immich photo and video only? 3) Why docker? I miss the days of just files and scripts on any host.
2) It's a replacement for google photos.
3) Ease of use and flexibility, you can deploy a docker compose file easily on any host or distro without needing to deal with dependencies or OS specific glitches.

Yes, happy customer for many years. Restored ~2GB of photos when a MacBook Pro motherboard completely died about 18 months ago.
Looks relatively straightforward to get running, pretty much inline with what I had to do in order to get PhotoPrism running in the first place. Only thing I couldn't see anything about was hardware acceleration, do leverage any of the Intel instructions (VAAPI) for transcoding? That's a paid feature on PhotoPrism and something that's sorely needed. CPU bound transcoding is terrible!
Think I'll put this on the TODO list for the weekend!
