I’ve been using Immich for both gallery and backup.
I’ve had major issues with docker upgrades. Just make sure you’re back up somewhere else too. They have fast paced development that breaks stuff occasionally.
Yeah you have to either never upgrade the app/server together or set aside time to read the entire update notes for changes you need to manually make.
I love immich so far but they really need to settle into non breaking changes sometime soon. Or at least add some sanity checks to updates to save users from themselves
PhotoPrism. I’m not convinced it’s the best, but it works for me and I’ve zero motivation to switch.
Which app do you use with it? This one? As far as I’m aware, PhotoPrism doesn’t have an official Android app.
They do have an official app. I used to use the fork, but I changed my workflow and didn’t need the patch anymore and went back to the upstream version of the server and client.
The app you linked to is unmaintained and archived on GitHub, and the Readme says:
The Flutter App for PhotoPrism® is not official and should be installed by developers and advanced users only
“AI Powered” :/
Exactly what I’m trying to avoid.
But I’ll consider it if it’s opt-in only and it doesn’t nag me.
That’s a fair bit of skepticism. In this case it’s justified. It’s used to auto-tag photos, either cats, dogs, people, buildings; or if you manually tag people in some photos it will go through and auto-tag your whole library. It’s all done locally on the server, no calls out to external services, so it’s private. And it works pretty well.
So, yeah. In this case, the ML is useful and justified.
Ok, thanks. So it needs a server, it seems? Can it run as a standalone phone app?
immich.app
I think it is just called Gallery from f-droid. Its got folder support and you can hide stuff you don’t use. Its basic but has a decent editor and is not network connected.
Edit: its called Fossify Gallery. My bad y’all
If you find a URL where I can check out its feature, could you please let me know?
Thanks!
