After: ~1,337 days, 271 releases, 78,000 stars on GitHub, 1,558 contributors, 31,500 members on Discord, 36,000 members on Reddit, 68 languages on Weblate, Surviving the controversial announcement about joining FUTO, Having overwhelming success and support from the community with the product keys model, Launching the Merch store, Attending our first FOSDEM, ...and before the release of GTA VI We are thrilled to announce the stable release of Immich! ๐ŸŽ‰

I'm really excited about such a large project adopting semver! I never got the trend for software without a need for rapid release cycles adopting purely time-based version numbers.

I was planning on starting to host my own Immich server for my family. Like I did for other futo projects, I paid, even if there is no technical reason to. Does anyone know what the "sever key"/"client key" thing is? I'm imagining that a client key is what goes in the immich android app, and a server key is what goes in ther server admin console?

The thing is that if I want to be considered as someone who uses FOSS ethically - and I'm hosting for my family - I don't want each of them to purchase a client key.... In my eyes - purchasing a server key in that price should at least give me some leeway, and the small number of clients I plan on supporting would not be considered unlicensed...

It does https://immich.app/blog/immich-product-keys

But as far as I understand the key doesn't really go anywhere, it's just a fancy way to suggest a donation. (And there's nothing unethical about using FOSS without paying or contributing back in any way)
