Recently installed and it’s chewing through 25 years of digital photos, has been some weeks now and expecting it to take another week. But - seems great. I was prompted to do this after the death of a friend and the subsequent hunt for photos, so I’m hoping the facial recognition lives up to its billing. I don’t really like having the NAS on 24/7 but I do like the idea of having that local photo sync. Probably cheape…

#62I can't get past the name. So cringe makes me not want to come near it
Download the repo, open in VS Code, and do a search + replace from "Immich", as well as the "Immich" part of file names to whatever you want. Then, go into the design folder of the repo and replace all the images with whatever logo names you want.

#64Really great job, been happy so far. Would be better if the text is searchable via OCR.

#65Can we make it into an app ?? For windows and mac like click and install ? That can scan all the folders and do all its stuff !??

#66Absolutely love immich. Prior to the release of the new "Beta timeline", it was difficult to recommend without reservation, because there were a lot of performance issues on Android, and syncing was just non-functional on my wife's iPhone. However, since enabling the beta timeline, the app is basically perfect now. I've been running it for months without issue, and having a first-class CLI means I've been able to do…

#67I would love to self-host this stuff (using Immich, or Ente) but my family's bus factor is 1 and the risk of losing all the pictures really prevents me from taking this step. Sure, maybe my wife could reach out to my techie friends but why create the problem in the first place?
If you can't backup your essential local data then self hosting isn't really ever an option for you

What solution are you using now? I feel the same, so I keep photos on hard drives and usb drives in different locations. I have a Restic backup at Backblaze but that is where the bus factor comes in. I don't know what would be best.

The solution is packaging. My Immich server performs a nightly backup to a 2tb flash drive labelled "PHOTOS" attached to the router. My partner knows where it is and what it's for, and everyone knows how to use a flash drive.

#70I just started looking into Ente which works very well but I don’t like 100MB Dart chromium app (I may build my own native frontend in iced.rs). However I’m wondering how Immich compares it seems less interested in the encryption security and sharing aspects and more heavy on the image editor aspect. Both are selfhostable. So it maybe an effort to migrate one day.
