An incredible piece of software, on par with Google Photos. I've been using it behind Tailscale for months with no problems ever since I first got into homelabbing. Actually, moving from Google Photos to Immich after I hit my 100GB storage limit was the whole reason I got into self-hosting, and what a fun ride that has been! I can't believe self-hosted products of this caliber are free. Huge shout-out to HomeAssistan…

Please buy a license if you are happy with the project :) it's free, but you can still buy a license for a small amount of what you saved

Done! <3

Good point. Will do so as well. I've been using it for about a year now on my NAS. I basically set it and forget it, and it has just worked.

Immich is such a no-brainer replacement for Apple Photos or Google Photos, combined with VPN like Tailscale, it's almost a drop in replacement

I’ve been using photoprism. Should I switch?

I have come to the realisation that I don't need 10,000 photos. I probably need Which I am yet to do...

I have realized the same.

Only it is different 100 photos every year.

So many comments here about missing end to end encryption, but seriously - why would anyone want this? Lets say burglars break in and steal your homelab. Because you don't have e2ee, they can see all the photos you saved of your dead grandmother! Oh no! Or, in the more likely scenario that something happens to your phone, the lack of e2ee means that even if you lost your keys you didn't lose the only memories that re…

Agreed. It's especially frustrating to read of extremely high standard (even though justified, I'm not suggesting it's OK to have a subpar experience) while most people just share everything and anything on Facebook, TikTok, SharePoint, etc and have no idea what permissions even mean.

So... yeah, sure, e2ee and encryption and all that but don't wait on perfection when the otherwise situation is pretty dire. It's only encroaching BigTech fueled by surveillance capitalism even more!

Beware that migrating back from Immich to iCloud/Google is not something Immich cares about. There is no "download all" anywhere, best way is to go to the server and get raw files from there. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/14365

They’re literally on a disk drive I can physically touch. I think I can figure out a migration strategy for that.

It's tricky with iOS. Plugging iPhone into a server is stupid. Adding server as a network storage in Files app is smarter, but downloading photos this way does not guarantee deduplication. Would be great if Immmich iOS app had a restore functionality as convenient as existing backup functionality.

maybe I fail to see your point, but following the link, then https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/5068 is referenced which is resolved by pr https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/18878 adding bulk download functionality (may have manually select all to bulk download, unsure). At any rate I don't see where they say explicitly that they are against it

There’s no download all in apple photos either unless they added it

Yes, that's even more stupid! Best way to export photos from iCloud if you don't have mac is to use iCloud from the browser and bulk download from there, but it has a 10k files-per download limit! It also doesn't allow you to select all and partiton download this way, I had to manually increase selection until it's 10k and remember where I started.

CMD-A then export all X unmodified originals works fine
