Looking at the Git history since the last release [1], that looks pretty accurate. Practically no changes other than now calling it stable. [1] https://github.com/immich-app/immich/compare/v1.144.1...v2.0...

Huh. So why increase the major version? Does Immich not use semantic versioning?

From TFA it sounds like they didn't do semver prior to this release but now will:

For me Immich has been good, but not great. I keep going back to nextcloud photos if I really want to do any work, like sharing images and file management. I really don’t get having all of your images in a a library and not in a file structure. Immich can look at your external libraries but it can’t really do anything with them. I can’t injest, say my iPhone photos and then later categorize them and move them to the…

> I really don’t get having all of your images in a a library and not in a file structure Immich can store your photos in a file structure you want. It can also reorganise your files on disk based on EXIF data, and so on. > I can’t injest, say my iPhone photos and then later categorize them and move them to the folder structure for more secure and stable long-term storage It can absolutely do exactly this. https://do…

The storage template is nothing like managing your photos within the app, moving them to different, more specific, folders. All it does is allow a type of folder structure on the main drive where the upload directories are, but if you have a more specific file structure, it doesn't allow you to manage this.

Immich is good to replace google photos or even Lightroom Library, but it is bad to replace Flickr.

Does anybody know self-hosting solution to have nice site to show off selected photos? No authorization and users for viewers, no "share" links, but photostream, albums, tags, way to see one photo full-screen. With minimal "chrome" like Flickr can do.

It doesn't need to have photo-organization things, object recognition, etc, which is needed to navigate your full library. Only way to show photos your specifically selected to publish.

Reading it I see this 50 extra packages are cursed There is a user in the JavaScript community who goes around adding "backwards compatibility" to projects. They do this by adding 50 extra package dependencies to your project, which are maintained by them. which bring to this user: Jordan Harband https://github.com/sponsors/ljharb Does anyone know what they actually mean with that cursed knowledge point?

I don't have much to add myself, but there was a bit of discussion around this back in August that you might be interested in: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44831811

This user makes money of off how many downloads their packages receive.

To not just link to another thread: The specialty of ljharbs issues sits somewhere between "JavaScript is a very dynamic programming language that grew a lot and quite fast" and "we cannot trust developers to do the right thing". His libraries tend to build up on older runtime implementations and freeze every used functionality during runtime, so they provide "second-run safety" and "backwards compatibility". Develop…

ljharb is also conveniently paid per download. His actions border on malicious especially when viewing from a supply chain attack angle.

Huh? The share feature works with no auth, I wouldn't want it different. Sounds like you just want to build a self hosted website to show portfolio work which... You just make a website

Have you considered a blog? You could probably realize your vision with Wordpress pretty easily.

Eehm. Wordpress? Your requirements sounds like a normal personal portfolio website.

>After stopping for years Honestly, thank you for making me feel marginally better about the disgustingly lazy, shortsighted, stupid etc. practice of using Google Photos even though they are waiting with bated breath to report me to the cops because I took a picture of my son to send to his doctor[1], before banning my whole account. Migrating to Immich, 2026, hold me to it please lazy me! Oh how’s the search? (Too l…

Migrate today! I won't use any third-party photo service, that's too much data. The search is amazing, you search for "cat" and you get back all the cats.

The search is very impressive. It uses CLIP.

So you can search “black cat on blue carpet in the morning” and expect to see a result (if it exists)
