Selfhosted
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:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
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.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (donβt cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Ooh this is great news! I guess it was both an entertaining experience and a chore at the same time bumping the server version every once in a while to keep the mobile app functioning.
Huge props to the team, it's one of the best pieces of software I've used in quite some time.
A couple of questions for those who have used it. Does it back up the video snippet portion of the live photos? Does it have webdav support so I can backup to pcloud? Can it backup to multiple places, like my local harddisk and the pcloud storage?
Don't think it has WebDAV support but you can use rsync to back up to pcloud. That's how I handle it.
Also, by default when you upload files to Immich it creates it's own directory structure but they have Storage Templates you can enable/customize to make it more human readable so the backups are more useful if looking at them without Immich.
Another option of you want more control over the directories themselves is External Libraries... but I don't believe uploading works with them, so you'd have to manually manage them outside of Immich (which kind of defeats the purpose IMO)
"High performance self-hosted photo and video management solution."
Does Immich still require you to store all user photos into the same central directory?
I canβt move my family from Synologyβs offering until I can be sure each users photos will be backed up to their own accessible drive.
I saw a Linux program that could let you setup a virtual mount with different rules for where each folder actually physically pointed to - like symlinks but with much more customisation. You might be able to use that to setup Immich to save different users to different drives
I think they're organized into individual user directories (in one location), so could probably set up a directory backup per user to their own device if so desired.
Each user has a subdirectory, I dont see a reason you couldn't symlink them so they actually reside on different drives.
You can store uploads on a different drive if you want also.
Hopefully they improved face tagging. I can't work out how to add a new person's name.
On the phone app you go to Library -> People -> "Add a name" at the top.
Finally! Been waiting for a stable release since their roadmap. Really glad I don't have to treat it as a very experimental service that breaks once a while anymore.
Huge thanks to all the contributors who made this possible.
Kudos! π₯³
