I’ve been using different software during the years to keep track of my pictures. None of them - other than Facebook - allowed to tag faces in pictures manually when the AI failed to do so. That was always very frustrating because some of the most important pictures I wanted to have there were not tagged and there was no way of manually doing it.
This is until today where this feature finally landed, I’m so excited, this will make the app much more useful. Now we could even pretend our cat Leo is a person and just tag his face manually ;)
Do you have any recommendations (or pointers) for a “secure” blob storage host i can put my personal fam pics on and mount that to immich?
I have a (mid-tier) linux VPS running somewhere, some ideal setup would be to mount the blob and show/share pics via immich on VPS, and i will automate putting the pics in the blob from all the devices we own
As usual Hetzner is always a solid choice - their Object storage is more than solid and comparably cheap - Personally I would not transfer to your VPS though as Immicg can get funky when latencies are too high. Just run the cheapest VM there that can take Immich.
Alternatively IONOS is doing a lot of good things as well these days,but they are slightly more expensive.
But Ionos has unlimited egress. Basically a flat fee per TB.
I just run my immich instance on my desktop computer and mount the external hard drive there.
I’m not sure about the speed if you’d mount a local drive or a s3 bucket via fuse.
