I've been working on a project that had a similar origin story, and gave up because it's so big. I'm glad to see immich strive forward. I wanted to change the "approach" of how I do photos: * When I take a photo, it's usually in the moment. * I want to have the option to "share" that photo directly to a certain album * I'd want my wife / friends to be able to "share" the photo to those albums Almost the same way that…

Isn’t that a simple shared album with upload permissions for everyone? Immich has that, yes.

Is Immich good at finding duplicates? And generally cleaning up a dump of photos? Or am I better off using Digikam for that before importing to Immich?

The embedded duplicate detector is not bad, and there’s a third party one that relies on Immich api that is even better.

I've been eyeing Immich for an iCloud replacement for some time now, does anybody have practical experience of how it can be used with iOS as the default backup destination for the Photos app instead of iCloud?

I’ve done just that, it works.

Searching does need some omph though, I will have to move it away from my poor little NAS at some point.

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. https://github.com/A11yance/axobject-query/pull/354#issuecom...

Also, I imagine cost of the globally wasted CPU cycles is much higher than what he profits. It's a pure abuse of resources.

I use Immich and it's fantastic. All other self-hosted alternatives I I've used have been lacking in one way or another, but Immich is a joy to use. Fast, featureful, easy to set up. I love it so much I gave them $100 to support them. After stopping for years because it was hard to view them easily, I'm finally taking photos again because of Immich.

>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…

Did you ever get access to Gmail/fi again after the incident?? The article said the two cases, at time of writing, still had not gained access to their account again even after they were cleared.

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. https://github.com/A11yance/axobject-query/pull/354#issuecom...

What a dumpster fire.

Is he really being paid per download, or is he just being sponsored? It’s not clear if either would imply some form of malicious intent either.

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…

io200[1] might be worth a look - a CMS for photos with low requirements for self-hosting (shared hosting is sufficient), nice themes, a powerful backend for managing photos and a proper free tier for more than testing. This CMS started its journey as Koken[2] which some might remember.

Immich alone may not be sufficient, but immich-public-proxy might be: https://github.com/alangrainger/immich-public-proxy Check out the sample gallery: https://immich-demo.note.sx/share/gJfs8l4LcJJrBUpjhMnDoKXFt1...

No search feature?

Immich is really great, easily now my fav self-hosted app. I used the Immich CLI [0] and later Immich-go [1] to get all my photos in. That was a breeze. I set it to use the folders as albums... And now I have a lot of cleaning up to do, but other than with files and folders, I'm really enjoying the process! A poweruser tip that has helped me a couple of times: Use ZFS (or other snapshotting facilities) to make snapsh…

I just added an external folder and copied all my photos there. Even though Immich's own photos folder is just a directory with dates, Immich is much less picky about what goes in the external folder (and, more importantly, what disappears from it).

Does this make Immich effectively function like Photoview? My current Immich by default stores my uploads in an `uploads/ / ` structure. This was a huge disappointment after moving from Photoview.

I just had it store images in "photos/YYYY/MM/" when I set it up and that was it.
