Immich: opinion revised (wiki.gardiol.org)

Hi fellow self-hoster.

Almost one year ago i did experiment with Immich and found, at the time, that it was not up to pair to what i was expecting from it. Basically my use case was slightly different from the Immich user experience.

After all this time i decided to give it another go and i am amazed! It has grown a lot, it now has all the features i need and where lacking at the time.

So, in just a few hours i set it up and configured my external libraries, backup, storage template and OIDC authentication with authelia. All works.

Great kudos to the devs which are doing an amazing work.

I have documented all the steps of the process with the link on top of this post, hope it can be useful for someone.

I love immich. I just wish for two things:

synchronised deletes on client server
the edit tools on mobile to actually work on the photo at hand instead of creating a new photo with new metadata. May as well not have the tools, tbh.

What is synchronized deletes on client server?

[–] mearce@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I assume that server-side asset deletions are applied to client libraries. I.e. If I take a picture on my phone, but then later delete the picture from immich on another device, it will then also remove the original copy on the client (phone) that took it.

Yes, more control over what happens between server/client. Sorry, that wasnt clear.

Immich aims to be a google photos replacement, which has this function built in.

Now, I don't care if it works only one way, but it should be clear.

That's why I only use immich as a gallery and not as a photo backup solution. I manage the syncing with syncthing.

Assuming you mean Android, FYI syncthing for android is discontinued, so you might want to look into other options.

There has been a fork out for a long time now that is still developed, it's called syncthing-fork
