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…

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...

How is this different from what Immich does natively?

The GP wanted albums, for example, which this doesn't seem to have?

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.

There's no migration necessary really, you just pull the new version and that's it.

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.

You can't say that and not link!

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?

Something I find it missing is two way sync. Meaning if you delete a photo that has already been backed up in Immich, from the standard Photos app, it will live on in Immich. So I guess the solution is to just use Immich as your default photo manager.

If anyone knows of solutions to this I'd be curious!

I really like Immich, although recently their android app randomly decided to go out of sync with my library and stop backing up automatically :/

That happened to me yesterday and got solved on its own automatically.

If it happens next time, will check app logs (Profile Icon > Logs) to see if it contains anything useful

You don't have to expose your Immich to the outside world, which may give you a degree of peace of mind. It sits in front of shares, so you would share your albums individually, as you have there. I guess you'd still need a directory for those, yes.

I've tried to use Photoprism last year, but it didn't work great for me, so I was planning to move to Immich. It's nice to hear that it's miles ahead in your experience. Do you use the search by context feature? I mean, searching "yellow car" and getting pictures with yellow cars in them as response. My experience with Photoprism was horrible in that aspect.

Ghost or Wordpress as your CMS and a Photography focused "theme".

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…

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...

It definitely feels a bit strange and potentially alarming, but after reading through that whole thread he ultimately seems like a sincere person doing work that he thinks matters, now getting dogpiled for it.
