FOSS Friday: Immich

Move over Google Photos and Apple iPhoto, there's a viable self hosting solution in town and it's called Immich.

I've been using Immich for a while. It's fairly easy to setup, if you have a home server or use one of the "Bitcoin node OSes". I use the docker container version and it works well.

If you're looking to ditch Google and Apple for your photos and videos, please remember that storage devices have a 100% failure rate. You need to have good backups. And you need to test them.

I backup my data locally at home and then I remote backup to my parent's house. It's my own private cloud. 🤣

New Rogan w/ Marc Andresson is pretty awesome

Pretty in-depth dive on FOSS / AI & the possible regulatory moats/captures

Basically get AI FOSS ASAP

Oh cool. I've never listened to him. Maybe I'll check it out.

Ooh i just use nextcloud for this but i like this.

Also +1 for foss friday.

I used Netcloud for a long while, but this has a lot of nice photo enhancements besides being just a dumb pipe.

obviously i'm a bit of a fanboy but i've been kind of looking for a "lighter weight" ways of doing things.

i feel like i have been a fight in my instance a lot recently.

PhotoPrism is a good solution too. I really like Immich because it uses tenorflow to tag images and reminds me of Google Photos.

I see never used it, only photoprism. Good to know

the tenorflow is the part that impressed me the most about the demo.

not perfect, but text searching for objects or places actually returned some pretty close images id expect to see. very neat for a self hosted option.

What are you using for storage? ZFS?

Ext4 with drdb

I've been using to PhotoPrism, also FOSS, for couple years. Now I moved to Immich. Much much better experience.

How does it compare to NextCloud?

tried the demo and I'm impressed. couple mobile bugs spotted but good find thanks. I'll give it a trial run!

I forgot to use the hashtag on my OP :( #FOSSFriday

It's it have some advantages against Synology photo?
