A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Wasn’t it stable like a month ago?

Checking out the road map, nothings changed in a hot second. I think they're just trying to spread the word about it in general

What does the $100 server key unlock (besides "supporter status"), since features aren't paywalled?

[–] Unlearned9545@lemmy.world 108 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nothing. Just helps pay for development.

Oh, so... 100% worth every penny, then. Finally, a software cost with actual benefits.

Edit. It sounds sarcastic, but I'm being serious.

As we're committed not to add paywalls, this purchase will not grant you any additional features in Immich. We rely on users like you to support Immich's ongoing development.

I read that. (I literally mentioned features not being paywalled in the original comment.)

If the key doesn't unlock features, what does it unlock?

Do you get a little thank you message from the devs when you enter it in? Does it add a "Supporter" tag next to your name on the app settings?

The practice exists in both software and games of adding paid cosmetics (e.g. Discord or Deep Rock Galactic) that don't change the core featureset but allow users to pay more to support the developers, so I think it's a valid question.

You get a badge at the bottom left showing you’re a supporter.

that makes one of us

[–] drgeppo@lemmy.world 15 points 1 month ago (4 children)

does immich have an option to automatically delete older, backed-up pics from devices in order to free up space and not worry about running out disk space on smartphone?

I tried to search the docs and it seems it's missing

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've not seen that option, but I use syncthing instead of the phone application to sync my photos to a specific folder on my NAS which is then an external library for Immich.

TBH, I don't want anything deleting anything automatically.

I'll often delete newer pictures of temporary stuff but keep older pictures of my frinds & family, so, that's not a feature I'd see any value in. It tends to just make me lazy and build up GBs of junk photos on my NAS (and backups...)

it's wip, they are iterating it

i think they added it as beta, then reverted, then now is being reworked

That video was… something…

Anyway I love Immich. It’s definitely been on a stable release for a bit, but I think they’re just trying to get the word out. A lot of people seem to think it’s still in alpha.

Personally, I’ve been running the same Immich server for years now, rolling all the way up to the current release and I’ve never had any data loss. I just had to read the patch notes and adjust my docker compose accordingly a couple times.

It’s well worth paying for that supporter badge, btw. I’ve easily gotten more than $100 value out of it.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It really was!

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

It still doesn't do chunked uploads, right? For who has a low memory proxy or uses cloudflare
