Just tried Immich to replace Google photos (immich.app)

Wow. I've only just started testing it against GP, but it's really slick and works really well. Lots more fine control than GP, and the only thing that isn't quite as good is the photo editing on the app and web site, and that is on the roadmap. Oh, and I can't see how to set up TLS but I might just be missing something.

Try ENTE!! Everything you store is e2e encrypted, their software is foss and you can share files easily, they even have a mid free plan. I've been using them for some time and they offer a great service.

It's https://www.ente.io

My referal code is SVZWEU, you can use it if you want to get an extra 10 gb for the both of us, free of charge, when signing up to a paid plan.

You don't have to use it, but thx if you do!

I self host. I'm not going to pay money for someone else to save my photos on another computer when something free (immich) does the same thing for me on my own hardware.

Ente is also able to be self-hosted.

Thanks for posting this. It isn’t overly obvious on their main page. I’m going to try this out. I like that their mobile apps support this as well.

Be sure to try Immich, too. If you don't need E2E it's better in my book. Especially with local-AI powered search, which Ente doesn't have.

Thanks for the extra recommendation. I’ll definitely check it out. What caught my eye mostly was the clean mobile app of Ente. Immach’s mobile app sure looks close. I don’t technically need E2E since I’m self-hosting… Decisions decisions…

That was actually what made my decision. My drive is encrypted at rest, and E2E makes it much harder to do other things I may want to do with my library. For instance, I have a bunch of photography sessions imported as local libraries, so they're just folders on disk I can modify outside of Immich as I want.

Awesome. Thanks!

I’m going to be trying this on my Kubernetes cluster. I don’t suppose either of you (Matt/fmstrat) have that working - do you?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

There is an official helm chart for immich that works very well. Whenever there are breaking changes you may need to update the chart version to apply the breaking changes (ie the recent port change). Doing it with helm chart makes it so you don't have to do much more than change 2 version numbers on occasion.
