Yes, I tried Immich but it's basically a second job, no thanks. Photoprism is very good, but would need something like Syncthing to auto upload. So I ended up going with Libre Photo. It's nowhere near as powerful as Immich in terms of features, but for my over 500K photos and almost 50K videos, works like a charm in ProxMox with the "UhuruPhotos" Android app.
Interesting. For me it was a set and forget. I check the change notes before updating every month or so, make a very small change to the yaml compose, and I am back in action in under 10 minutes.
Different experiences I guess.
Are you hosting in ProxMox too?
No, mine is just a docker container. Maybe there is something with that? Is your containerized in the VM?
I usually create 1 LXC and install docker to it to use it as a template for any other LXC in the future. So, docker on a Debian LXC is how I did it. ProxMox in on bare metal though.
Photoprism's app space is pretty bad, but there is an completely hacky yet reliable solution for Android:
photoprism importcommand every few minutes.Since I've had this set up, it's worked as well as Google Photos ever did for keeping my phone snaps synced to the server. It's been more reliable than SyncThing for my data, reacting and syncing faster, and it doesn't mysteriously periodically just stop running like SyncThing.
I don't know if PhotoBackup is available for iOS, but if it is, it works a treat.
Sweet. Never heard of this before. Thanks. I'll take it for a spin over the weekend.
