Hello everyone!

I'm currently looking to self host some photos to get my girlfriend off of Google Photos. I'm wondering what has been good in your experience.

I never thought about self-hosting the before but a LTT video (I'm sorry) popped up in my feed and I got curious.

I looked into Ente.io and PhotoSync so far but unsure if there are any better options. Also saw that LibrePhotos exist but I haven't looked into it yet.

What are you using? Have you had any issues? Missing features etc.?

+1 to immich

However, because of the fast dev cycle, it has a lot of breaking changes, and needs regular maintenance (most notably for me, postgres docker changes. Especially if you are not giving it it's own postgres instance and using their provided docker compose.)

You could stay pegged to a single version, but the mobile app also doesn't have full backwards compatibility with server versions, which results in a slew of other problems (how do I do a fresh install of an older app version on a new device?)

But if you are willing to keep up and perform semi-regular maintenance, immich is great, and the rapid dev cycle means more new features faster!

Luckily all of the changes so far have been super easy and quick, they're very good about posting detailed info on what to change.

Can you make immich so that when you click on the map, you get a grid of relevant photos rather than full size swipe?

Can you make immich not show the stupid white lines around every country?

You can directly use the files from the github repo, just look for the release your server is on and install that apk.
