What are people using as backup solutions for immich?

Immich is running in ProxMox for me, and using an NFS mounted ZFS dataset (encrypted at rest as the rack is in the garage, unlocks on boot using clevis and tang).

That ZFS dataset is backed up daily offsite using Restic + Rclone

Immich LXC is backed up daily to Proxmox Backup Server 1, which syncs to Proxmox Backup Server 2, and also gets sent offsite.

PostgreSQL is running in another LXC container, which also backs up to PBS and also offsite.

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...

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.

Me too. I've been wanting this with immich.

I haven't heard of this app before, so I looked around their site and docs. I was mildly interested in trying it out until I saw the requirements: "A system with at least 4GB of RAM and 2 CPU cores.", but recommended 6 GB of RAM. Why does an image storage solution needs so much RAM?

It is ridiculous bloat of "high level technobabble" npm install for web/ server/ % cloc . 81808 text files. 51415 unique files.

You're counting a lot of generated code.

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: > What versioning strategy will Immich use? > > Starting with v2.0.0, we will now follow semantic versioning. (edit for formatting)

Yep, I was one of the people who complained about that when they were making breaking changes every other release. It's great to see they actually kept their promise!

How is this different from what Immich does natively? https://immich.home.stavros.io/share/ztG3VGyrbofAw3QUXjytV2P... The GP wanted albums, for example, which this doesn't seem to have?

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 don't want to have external directory, it is my problem. I want all photos uploaded shown in chronological order as first page and ability to drop-out menu with albums, search, like this. It should be public gallery, not site where I share photos with people who have special links (even if these links can be published on, effectively, other site). I even don't need any access rights, private photos, etc. Only public ones. It is gallery. Everybody can see, it can be indexed by search engines, etc.

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.

I cannot design site :-)

Also, I prefer to have some search (by tags, lens, words in description) and easy upload.

(I have where to host site with virtually any number of photos)

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

Several people suggested Wordpress, but I have very bad experience with helping my friends to install & use Wordpress. It is complete mess of software.

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.

I haven't found one person who agrees with him on what he thinks matters. His way is wasteful and slow and just indefensible.
