I was one of the first Immich core developers but had to leave a year ago due to a change in my job situation.
Just wanted to say that the team (especially Alex, the founder) are wonderful people and very dedicated to the project. When they don’t implement the features everyone wants, there is usually a very good reason, like security or architectural concerns. The philosophy behind the project is also to do things slowly but right.
I believe they continue focussing on robusness and bugfixing. A topic that we discussed a lot was e2e encryption. We really wanted to implement that, but it was very hard and back then would have compromised performance too much. I still think that e2e encryption will come at some point.
Man, I sure hope they're free of the container crutch.
What do you mean by container crutch?
Containers carry concerns around validation of container contents and, by extension, host contents. This has been well-discussed and is beyond the scope here.
But I do hope for an installation free of container mess.
But those are concerns for all containers, and not really an immich issue.
