Immich v3.0.0 Released

There's a lot of things I spent a ton of time setting up, use once, and then never again. Tons of things that are easy to set up, and provide small benefits every day for a long time. Immich has got to be the thing that I've spent ages setting up, use extremely infrequently but the one time a year I use it I'm so happy I did. Great software.

Man, I wish my experience was as nice. I used the proxmox lxc for it and after a 2 months of organizing I had some corruption and didn't have the fortitude to get through the debugging. It might have been related to a big version migration if I remember correctly. It turned me off the stack. The upgrading wasn't as turnkey as I wanted it to be and I dont think the case is different today.

I just want to be able to organize my folders outside of some dumb library system and immich at the time fought that as well.

Immich is an amazing software. I use it regularly as an alternative along side Google photos. I keep in it large videos that I wouldn't upload normally to Google photos + the snappy experience at home vs Cloud-Bades solution.

I don't want yet another self hosted service to manage (update, backups, possible hardware failures, energy costs, ups, etc.).

Unfortunately Immich is not end-to-end encrypted. If that would have be the case i'd use https://pixelunion.eu/

Seems like a great app though. So... i'm still pondering what to do :-)

Okay? So don't use it, use a managed service like Google Photos, Apple Photos, Dropbox, etc where your photos and files might be arbitrarily removed or your access to them limited while they are scanned for disavowed content.

You can also just use a secure transport layer (like WireGuard or a VPN) instead of relying on every project to implement end-to-end encryption.

So if you don't want a self hosted service there are tons of cloud providers. Google photos, iCloud, etc. Some people don't want to pay a monthly fee to store their photos or don't want to risk losing something with sentimental value just because a company decides to ban you

You can use https://ente.com/ (it's open-source). It also makes the seemingly much better decision of storing photos in S3.

+1 for Ente. Replaced Google photos for me

The point of Immich is self hosting. Using AWS defeats that purpose

VPN (or other) Tunnel.

That's the objective answer. There's no mystery here. That's exactly how you get what you want and it's not too hard. Not trying to dunk on you or anyone one but this is an easily solved problem, and I think I want to highlight it like this to make sure everyone understands.

Anything web/internet/network service thing, you can add this on. This composability is important to remember in software, this even goes back to "The Unix Way" type stuff.

Does Immich support read-only source folders yet? I'd like to keep the original files intact, but allow Immich to index them.

zyberzero•about 1 hour ago

Yes, at least for a year. There is a ”external library” feature, I think that does what you want.

Thank you! That was not available the last time I checked.
