Edit: for example, just yesterday I uploaded ~30 photos of my girlfriend. It recognized her in one photo and didn’t even identify her face as a face in the rest.
I also don’t understand what’s doing the processing for the facial recognition. Is my cpu doing it or is an external service doing it?
Can it remove duplicates? That’s the holy grail along with storing my images. I’ve got so many damn photos, and I want to reduce the total amount I have but going through them is so daunting I’ll never do it without a computer-assisted organizer.
Deduplicating by SHA (so, exactly the same bytes) is straightforward, and phototprism does that: https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/library/duplicates/ Unfortunately, if you've used Google Takeout or other systems that can both downsample your photos and videos, as well as actually deleting _or changing_ metadata, deduplicating becomes a big wad of heuristics. My first approach was to build a UID based on a serie…
Do this anyway. Always.
From https://www.photoprism.app/features for Community (free) and Essentials (EUR2.00/month): > User Management > Account Roles: Super Admin, Admin So unless I switch to the >=EUR6.00/month Plus plan I cannot add a non admin user? So my grandma gets admin privileges? Is that not a blocker for a lot of families? Edit: From https://www.photoprism.app/plus/kb/multi-user > PhotoPrism® Plus includes advanced multi-user fu…
Maybe, but at least it's not per-user, per-month. I'm much more likely to set up something like this if I can add / remove family members as needed without thinking about the cost beyond the annual fee I pay for to run my own instance.
The blocker for me is typically ease of use. They recommend PhotoSync for transferring files to the instance. I currently use that for my family, but sync to a Nextcloud install (which I desperately want to replace). The part where it fails for me is that my family members don't understand how to verify everything is running as intended. For example, I checked one of their phones earlier this year and they had 5k un-synced photos.
What this really needs to be useful is a native app that does sync from the phone in a way that makes it relatively foolproof.
Beyond the ease of use, every link in the chain of the workflow is a point of risk IMO. For example, what if PhotoSync rug pulls everyone (I have no reason to believe they would) and starts charging a subscription? The app that runs on your phone and does the syncing is the more valuable half of the workflow IMO.
Stopped reading after "AI powered", no thank you.
Providing face recognition sans a cloud seems like a big selling point to me.

I went about depdup in a similar but opposite way then you did - https://github.com/mgolub2/photodb I used libraw to read the actual raw data from my images, ignoring possible metadata that can get changed/updated by Capture One for example. The raw data is just fed into a hashing function, to get an exact content hash. Does not work if your image is down-sampled of course, but that was actually my goal - I want to k…
Ah! In this case, you might be happy to discover that ExifTool just added an "image content" hash--it's the SHA (or MD5 or whatever) hash of the _actual image bytes_, after ignoring the metadata header (and possible footer) payloads. So if you, say, change the rotation of your RAW image file (which normally will just add or change the EXIF `Orientation` tag), the image content hash will stay the same. See https://exi…

You can manually tag photos and identify people, though the UI flow is not the most convenient. (I've been trying it put for a couple months.)
How? I can’t find the option to add faces. I can add keywords and add labels but not faces
1. Select a photo with a recognizable face
2. Click the Pencil / Edit icon in the upper right menu
3. Select the People tab
4. Enter the name/names

Why is GP's approach substantially faster?

If you want to go deeper, I suggest grouping everything by image content - that means, at the very least, comparing images via a resolution independent hash. (E.g. average down to e.g. an 8x8 picture in greyscale for the simplest approach). (undouble does that nicely, and has a number of different approaches: https://erdogant.github.io/undouble/pages/html/index.html)
I have tried to install this from source but it's quite difficult. I don't like deploying opaque docker images.
Full agreement, Immich has a similar problem. I don't know at what point basic systemd services stopped being enough but docker is usually a non starter for me.
I dunno, I enjoy not having to install 500 libraries on my system just to test an app. Also upgrading those libraries without butchering my system is also nice. Not to mention rebuilding a system is really fast. Too many pros outweigh the cons

I disagree. Docker is the one thing that works on MANY flavors of Linux. If I want to provide a tool I want to spend my time on building the tool, not building an rpm, a snap, a deb, ... The Docker build process is significantly easier. For example, I can just pull in NodeJS 20. I can't do that on Ubuntu. It's not available on packages.ubuntu.com. Building a deb/snap/rpm is a whole other language to understand how de…
