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 recognitio…

Just do a static website with object storage for the photos. If you just have a few thousand photos you could even bundle the photos with the website and host it for free at cloudflare pages.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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)

Well shit, you're right!

I didn't know it was that good! Wow.

I literally just migrated from Photoprism to Immich 4 days ago. Hopefully migrating to 2.0 isn't hard. Very happy with Immich though, its miles ahead of Photoprism and at this point the best choice for self hosting photos.

> Hopefully migrating to 2.0 isn't hard.

It's not. I did it in under a minute.

Immich alone may not be sufficient, but immich-public-proxy might be: https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy

I looked at Photo Organizer[0] a few years ago as a possible way to share photos I shoot at events with the public. It didn't seem wholly unreasonable. Having said that, I'm not seeing the full-screen "chromeless" kind of look you're looking for on the maintainer's demo site[1] either.

Edit: A sibling post's reference to the Immich public proxy looks pretty cool. I am anxious to try it out.

Not the parent poster, but that looks really promising.

I want to get Immich up and running for my personal workflow. I shoot sports stuff regularly that I want to share along with personal photos I do not. Right now my workflow is frustratingly manual for this process. Having the "share with the public" functionality right beside my internal workflow would be a dream.

I built something mostly like this, albeit not self-hosted: https://mood.site

The idea of it is - a simple website where, when you go to it, an album is auto-created for you without need for an account.

You can upload images to that site through drag and drop or clicking upload. Once uploaded images can be rearranged and resized, with the grid adapting.

You can share the gallery with other people to collab on it by sharing the URL with the edit query param attached. If you share the link without the edit key the gallery is view only.

Here's my personal inspiration board as an example: https://mood.site/WvP4xd6x

Main thing it's lacking based on your ask is ability to toggle visibility for individual photos.

I haven't considered making it something people could self-host, but the underlying tech is easy enough and is just backed by a pretty simple database that I could maybe bake into a single delivery html + js file that references a folder of images. Would that be interesting?

What’s a good desktop app with the same-ish goal? > High performance [desktop] photo and video management solution Honestly all I want is - Non destructive library management. No copying and moving files and the library is just “a file” - Exif GPS map with search support (“Photos taken at NYC between 2 and 4pm”) - Automated (AI?) photo tagging

CaptureOne is the go to thing you want here. It's the best.

I've only been using Immich for a little while, but it's been amazing to see how quickly its development has been going. Hard to imagine they had much technical debt to tackle. > There are still a few items on our roadmap that we want to complete before the year ends such as auto-stacking, and achieving feature parity between the web and mobile app. We also have plans to start work on improved stack support, better s…

Technical debt is really mean, they had planned for lots of these things for 2024 originally.

But I still support them, technical debt is always like a iceberg, you trip on the tip, then discover it will consume you and your team for months to fix it. Still needs to be fixed as early as possible, otherwise everything becomes “invisibly slow”.

I appreciate the Cursed Knowledge section on their website https://immich.app/cursed-knowledge > Cursed knowledge we have learned as a result of building Immich that we wish we never knew

They think Postgres is cursed with a 2^16 limit; SQL Server has a parameter limit of ~2,000. I guess at least it's low enough that you're going to fail early.

Sure, but SQL Server DB protocol (TD) has a dedicated Bulk Insert specific for that functionality. TDS isn't perfect, but it is much better then the postgresql wire protocol v3.

Sometime I want to build a DB front-end that you send up some type of iceberg/parquet or similar, and return a similar file format over a quic protocol. Like quic, persistent connections could be virtualized, and bulk insert could be sane and normalized: eg insert these rows into a table or temp table, then execute this script referencing it. While I'm at it, I'll normalize PL/SQL so even brain-dead back-ends (sqlite) could use procedural statements and in-database logic.
