I would love to give this a try but its software supply chain story seems like a car crash, with dependency bumps needed every few days: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/commits/main/server/pac... I'm keen to use it as soon as the dependency story is mature (eg. it is packaged in Debian). This doesn't seem likely to happen any time soon. I'm sure many people won't care about this. But for me, it's a measure of qu…

To be fair, there’s a massive banner on their front page warning users it’s in beta. Until they settle on a proper release it’ll continue to be a bit chaotic. All software development is like that.

This looks like one of those projects that will never settle and have a stable slower release cycle.

This looks like a project that’s under heavy development (it is) responsibly keeping up with dependencies. This gives me more confidence, not less.

Why is docker compose a red flag? That feels like a benefit to me.

I don’t think so. They are steadily approaching their defined and published goals for stable release. I’m guessing it will come this year.

Humbly sharing my own project: Video Hub App which lets you browse your videos in an elegant infinite scroll gallery with various ways of searching, filtering, and tagging. Only local - nothing goes online with my app. https://videohubapp.com/ and it's open source: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App

Looks nice. Does this allow the export of the organizational and meta data?

Runs on a Pi4 in a cabinet with a lot of other self hosted stuff. Data is stored on a NAS. Performance on the Pi4 isn't the greatest, but it works without any annoyance. It has been hosting my SO's and my photos for a few months, the transition from Google Photos was pretty easy and it is almost a drop in replacement. I love it. Make sure to checkout https://github.com/simulot/immich-go , it was a great help migratin…

How do you expose the service for your SO when away from home? Do you use tailscale/cloudflare tunnel/vpn? public port on your router? I've been trying tailscale for myself, but there's a hair more friction than my SO would accept.

I use tailscale with split tunneling so that traffic to the home range goes... home.

That minimizes battery impact. This missus hasn't complained. Yet.

Highly recommend [0]selfh.st if you are looking for software to run locally. Its a maintained directory for open and closed source software. [0] https://selfh.st/apps/

The colors of the select box text (Tags, Alternatives, Sort, Search) are the same (or very close) color as the background making them unreadable.
