Hello everyone!

I’m currently looking to self host some photos to get my girlfriend off of Google Photos. I’m wondering what has been good in your experience.

I never thought about self-hosting the before but a LTT video (I’m sorry) popped up in my feed and I got curious.

I looked into Ente.io and PhotoSync so far but unsure if there are any better options. Also saw that LibrePhotos exist but I haven’t looked into it yet.

What are you using? Have you had any issues? Missing features etc.?

It wasn’t sold, it’s being funded. There’s a big difference. And the group behind the funding is a huge supporter of FOSS. They’re gonna be “selling” immich licenses soon, but they’re also going to keep all the source code open and available for anyone to download, modify, or use however they want.

The owner of the name and repo has changed hands in exchange for money, and is now going to be pushing licences to use it. You can say that is not “sold” if you like, but its the same to me.

It literally didn’t. Read about it and stop spreading misinformation. The deal is essentially like an investment. The developer still maintains full autonomy on the projects direction and leadership. All FUTO is doing is providing them stable income so they can work full time on developing the project.
