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.

    I’m not looking to become a sysadmin, thanks. I just want somewhere to safely store and organize my private photos.

    I don’t know how to access the filesystem and copying the library folders would not back up the metadata.

    A great backup solution would be what I mentioned elsewhere. Just put a button to export it to a flash drive or an encrypted file server.
