    Recent convert to immich and hugely impressed by the software and project - one of FOSS’s shining stars. Good work everyone.

    Immich is great, I host it externally for family to contribute to an extended photo album.

    It does seem to get weird backing up from my phone, as if it’s trying to backup items it’s backed up before. That doesn’t seem to show up as duplicate photos in the library though so hasn’t been a huge issue. Bigger fish to fry tbh.

    Right now I’m working on integrating homepage with organizr then converting it to use authentik behind the scenes, with users using their plex oauth to get sso to the rest of their services.

    Docker is amazing

      My only warning for a new user to Immich is that it does not support chunk uploading. So if you’re like me and took a 1 hour 40GB 4k video, it will never upload. It will start, fail, and start over again forever.

        Thanks for the warning i don’t think I have any hour long videos, maybe up to 10 or 20 minutes. But that is a very weird and annoying bug.

          You’re welcome. It’s not a bug, but just the library they use to upload files doesn’t do chucking. There is a git hub request for it, but it’s not done yet.

      I just set it up this week, I was just settling with nextcloud memories before. Night and day difference.

      A few pain points in the process but overall was pretty easy to set up and even add 2FA (though I can’t say authelia was easy to set up to do so), and once it’s off the ground it’s super smooth

          Absolutely. It was a pain in the ass to get up and running, but it’s running smooth with this setup. You can probably streamline and clean this up a bit but it’s working for me:

          Also just to note, the caddyfile changes aren’t necessary for Immich, that’s just for any service without an integration that you still want to lock down. Immich’s integration is pretty straightforward once authelia itself is up and running.

          Would depend on what reverse proxy you’re using, I saw they replied with Caddy, I set it up using Traefik instead

    Is it easy to self-host immich so that it operates on a READ-ONLY basis with my images? I really only want to use it for the local-AI indexing/search, but not as a backup or photo management solution (Synology Photos works just fine for that).

      I think you can use Immich external libraries for this, also to be extra safe you can just mount your external images folder as read only by adding :ro to the docker volume mount so that the container won’t be able to modify anything as a precaution.

        This is what I was thinking, too.

        Alright, looks like I’ll be setting it up soon! LOL

      Yes, that’s how I use it. It has access to a read only bind mount of my photo directory. The ML doesn’t write exif data to the images, just keeps that in its database.

    Reminds me that now that all my data is processed (in particular the heavy ML part) I should move the resulting container data to my (much less powerful but always on) NAS.

      If it helps, I have an ml container on my more powerful machine and have my Immich insurance pointing at that, then the local NAS container in order. If it’s on, it powers through (so I turn it on if I’m about to dump a batch of photos) and if it’s not it churns slowly through (e.g. if my phone uploads one or two).

      It’s super easy to do! Would recommend.

        Ah nice, I was aware of the remote ML instance option but I didn’t know it was optional, i.e. if it’s there rely on it, if not still work. I thought it was either do ML locally ALL the time or do ML remotely all the time.

        Is it just an optional ML endpoint on the NAS instance pointing to the ML only container on the more powerful machine on the same LAN?

    Is it still braking changes when upgrading to a newer version?

    In the past it felt like I was running an alpha version, which I spend more time fixing it than enjoying its features.

    It’s only good for phone photos though. If you also take pictres with a camera, it doesn’t have any clear way to handle those.
