Re: Immich – High performance self-hosted photo and video management
#93I would love to use Immich but I'm not into running a home server - electricity isn't that reliable here and putting in backup power is more expensive than I want to pay. Also I just don't want to manage the hardware. I've looked into cloud hosting. But of course, photos and videos take up a lot of space. Object storage is cheap but not supported by Immich. Block storage is not cheap. I did look into s3fuse but the c…

#94Earlier quoted context omitted.
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.

I'm not a formally trained programmer, so I won't pretend to know better than Immich's engineering team. But feel free to create pull requests to improve it. You're free to choose any other software.

Do they store photos end-to-end encrypted?

#96This serves as a great reminder for me to set up Immich when I get time, and a reason/excuse to purchase a better GPU. I have been uneasy with my dependence on Google for a while now. [EDIT]: the following was intended as a reply to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45168333 I understand the author's point against the perceived complexity of 1-5 star rating systems, but it's worthy of note that star ratings are ex…
Does Immich have features that need a high-end GPU? I hosted it on a machine with a 1050Ti, and see others in this comment section mentioning using a RPi.
It runs great in a container on my synology NAS which has no GPU at all.

#97I recently looked into both Immich and Ente.io for syncing and also sharing photos since 1) Syncthing has been rather unreliable for me in the last year, 2) my photo library has become too big to just sync it across devices, 3) I was never really happy with NextCloud for sharing photos. Immich looked really nice but in the end I went with Ente because of its E2E encryption. So far I'm really happy!
How has syncthing been unreliable for you? Curious as I was going to start using it more. Was it something about large files or many files?
Not op but personally I don’t really trust syncthing on iOS. Something about how Möbius sync works on the apple OS makes it so occasionally my folders disappear locally on my phone, triggering a deletion on all other devices.

#98Just wish it could compress pictures, is there an alternative which compresses pictures?
I'd really like to build a bolt-on to immich that makes calls to imagemagick just to do simple stuff like rotate and compress, there's a ton of forks tho there must be someone who's thrown in one of those web editor suites

#99I was hoping we'd have immich stable earlier in 2025, now it's starting to look like maybe 2026 but they haven't pushed it on the roadmap so I'm holding out hope.
Immich is extremely stable even if not labeled as such. My personal experience is zero maintenance (other than updating docker container) since deployment several years ago.
Stability also implies that we don’t have to update our server version every couple of days/weeks because otherwise the mobile app stops working. I’m ok upgrading but it gets old wondering why the photos aren’t showing up and then realizing that it’s because the versions are out of sync and the mobile app just refuses to talk to the server.

#100I 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.
Immich isn't an editor at all, I don't think it can even rotate an image 90 degrees. It's very focused on having multiple users upload photos and create shared albums (public or just to other users). Doesn't do any encryption at all tho.
