+1 to immich
However, because of the fast dev cycle, it has a lot of breaking changes, and needs regular maintenance (most notably for me, postgres docker changes. Especially if you are not giving it it's own postgres instance and using their provided docker compose.)
You could stay pegged to a single version, but the mobile app also doesn't have full backwards compatibility with server versions, which results in a slew of other problems (how do I do a fresh install of an older app version on a new device?)
But if you are willing to keep up and perform semi-regular maintenance, immich is great, and the rapid dev cycle means more new features faster!
Luckily all of the changes so far have been super easy and quick, they're very good about posting detailed info on what to change.
Thank you! I will try Immich our and see how it feels, if it's just quick fixes it shouldn't be an issue. But if it's too much I might just try out Ente 🙏
Can you make immich so that when you click on the map, you get a grid of relevant photos rather than full size swipe?
Can you make immich not show the stupid white lines around every country?
This is a fair description.
My parents like it, once every so often I update their docker and apps (on the same day). Its not always straight forward (I just mean you have to visit their github), but ez enough.
Unfortunately my next choice (afaik) would be NextCloud ... aaaand let's leave it at that.
You can directly use the files from the github repo, just look for the release your server is on and install that apk.
I'm scared to these 'breaking changes' even though I'm not exactly a self hosting newbie. That's because I don't have a proper 3-2-1 backup and I'm afraid I might lose my photos or settings. I've been exploring of setting up immich through a homeserver management tool like runtipi that allows taking backups separately that can be reverted to, in case something goes wrong. Anyone aware of any negatives about that?
