Just curious, when people say selfhosted does it imply they control the hardware at their home? Or does buying a VM from an operator count as self hosting?
It counts. My discriminator is the self- part. Server location is not relevant.
> Do not use the app as the only way to store your photos and videos! You shook not have only one backup ever. But this project says this in the context of not being production ready. So at least I won’t play with it with my personal photos and videos.

Photoprism had the critical flaw of being single user last time I tried it, making it neat but a complete non starter for someone with a family larger than 1.
Is there anyone in your family that you really want to have access to all your photos? Not even referring to just NSFW stuff. If your answer is "as the admin I'm the only one that can access everything" then consider the question from your family's POV. Not trying to discount your point only pointing out that single user and e2ee implementations have some value.
for whatever reason, I cannot login to the demo website with the credentials listed. Is it for just single user at a time? https://demo.immich.app/auth/login
Demo instances need to have really short reset periods - minutes or so, or alternatively disable password changes.

I’m working on building something similar. From what I can tell, Immich, Ente, and PhotoPrism are the best of the batch when it comes to open source photo storage and management. They are all good, but it depends on what you’re looking for. Personally, I want: E2E encryption, on-device face recognition, and the ability to self-host as well as a paid option for people who don’t want to manage their own server. The exi…

I LOVE Immich. Been using it for a few months now, first on a Raspberry Pi 4 and then an old x86 box. Before Immich I had tried for a while to use Photoprism with Syncthing to sync photos from my phone, but the transition to that from Google Photos was a frustrating one. Immich on the other hand expressly tries to be a Google Photos replacement, and while I initially thought that was an audacious goal for a fresh ope…
Can I ask what specifically you like about it over Photprism? Just the sync? I've also been questing for a Google Photos replacement, and right now Nextcloud functions admirably for auto-sync but like garbage for anything past that like viewing albums afterwards. I've had an instance of Photoprism up for a while and was debating bringing it into "production" on my homelab.

You make a good point and you are right, but for me the concern is that the same account can break a lot of stuff. I agree, if I put a photo out there, I don’t care who sees it if I’ve given them the password. But I just worry about people deleting things, mucking up the database, etc.
