Immich is a modern photo management web application which aims to be similar to Google Photo. It can be uses to backup phone photos and also manage older collection of older photos.

Hi fellow self-hoster.

Almost one year ago i did experiment with Immich and found, at the time, that it was not up to pair to what i was expecting from it. Basically my use case was slightly different from the Immich user experience.

After all this time i decided to give it another go and i am amazed! It has grown a lot, it now has all the features i need and where lacking at the time.

So, in just a few hours i set it up and configured my external libraries, backup, storage template and OIDC authentication with authelia. All works.

Great kudos to the devs which are doing an amazing work.

I have documented all the steps of the process with the link on top of this post, hope it can be useful for someone.

    My only issue with it is that on my iphone, the app constantly freezes and says I have 3 photos left to upload. It’s almost certain to freeze for a few minutes and the upload becomes stalled as well. This behavior made it take a long time to backup my library and it makes it a pain in the ass to share photos quickly with people. Popping into the webUI has none of these issues (just no uploading of my photos). I still quite love the app

    Haven’t checked in a while but is there any hope for cloud storage of the image library yet? I’m kind of holding out for S3 support because I don’t want to manage multiple terabytes locally.

      I don’t think immich supports this natively but you could mount an S3 store with s3fs-fuse and put the library on there without much trouble. Or many other options like webdav.

      Never noticed. I don’t do anything with the cookies anyway, its just a docuwiki self hosted, no ads, no data collection, nothing. I don’t even store logs.

      I might need to write the privacy policy… Will do tomorrow.

        Im not familiar with doku wiki but here’s a few thoughts

        • privacy policy is good to have regardless of what you do with rest of my comments
        • your site is creating a cookie “dokuwiki” for user tracking.
        • cookie is created regardless of user agreement, rather than waiting for acceptance (implied or explicit agreement). As in i visit the page, i click nothing and i already have the dokuwiki cookie.
        • i like umami analytics for a cookieless google analytics alternative. They have a generous free cloud option for hobby users and umami is also self hostable. Then you can get rid of any banner.
