Immich – High performance self-hosted photo and video management

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.
Is there a way to export things like notes to a sidecar file? Basically need to have photo123.jpg and photo123.jpg_notes.txt available. I’m trying to archive, document and make accessible family photos, but fear any work I do organizing information in immich may as well be throwing it into black hole.
I back up the complete Immich filesystem and database, and include a docker-compose.yml, so if it was handed to someone technically inclined they'd have all that.
Re: Immich – High performance self-hosted photo and video management
#103I 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…
The cheapest possible Hetzner VPS (2 vCPU 40GB SSD) and a Hetzner storage box (1TB) works alright for cheap (less than EUR 10/mo). I store my database on the SSD, and the `/uploads` folder on the storage box attached as a CIFS drive. Put it behind Tailscale and it's worked fine for the past few months.

Are you rotating flash drives and such? I would worry about something happening to me, then she goes to use the flash drive, and the data is corrupt or the drive is fried.
My server sends me notifications for every update with the rsync output so I'll know if any problems arise while I'm around. The last drive in this position lasted 4 years without incident, and I only replaced it earlier this year because it was full.

#107Absolutely 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…

Immich supports search by CLIP and I would find it highly useful to search for stuff by semantic meaning (I rely on Google Photos' ability to do that for now). How does your Pi4 handle CLIP?

I'm not running on a Pi4, but I am running on an N150 which is in roughly the same performance league, and CLIP searching is instant in my ~10K photo set. The expense is at classification time, not search time. Classification was a few hours on that, so, not convenient if you're staring at it and wanting to play with it instantly, but it's not like it took months or something either. Of course if you've got 100,000 p…
