@neil The only downside i see to Immich is that if you or your partnet want to get all the pictures back in their original DCIM/date-time.jpg file structure, you can't easily (that i know of?).

Otherwise it's very neat and very cool.

Also, don't forget to back up #Immich! (database + files)

@neil I use PhotoSync to run scheduled backups to an SMB server wirelessly — coupled with a VPN it also works away from the home.

@neil immich is the business. For me a perfect replacement for Google Photos. Immediate WiFi sync at home (I could compel it via VPN + WiFi when away), recognition of people, geolocation w map, and... Privacy. I still have to upload older content but overall best new app of the last year -- I waited until it was stable.

Album sharing possible too.

@neil I’m happily using Immich on my iPhone and have used the iOS app to sync 46k photos from my iCloud account to my own server.

The server side of things in Immich is quite nice too - one of the few times that I haven’t wanted to throw the computer out of the window whilst using Docker!

The whole thing has been a surprisingly slick experience, particularly given how locked down iOS is!
Which reminds me, I must donate some money to them for this awesome software!
