Okay, heeeeelp, how the fuck am I supposed to upload almost 230k photos from iCloud Photos to my NAS?

  • Keeping all metadata and original files (HEIC, HEVC, HEIF, etc)
  • Keeping live photos videos

Considering that:

  • Without using immich app because it's buggy as fuck and completely shits itself after a few uploads thousand
  • Without using the nextcloud app because it removes metadata from videos when autouploading
  • Without using iCloud Takeout because not only that separates all metadata from the files with the sole purpose of making your life harder requiring some script to fix which apparently only works on mac, but also that would require me to download God knows how many zips from Apples website totaling almost 3TB

Someone help should I just accept that I'll just lose 230k pictures because no one seems to make a software that works properly???

@luana For the initial bulk uploads to Immich, I used the immich-go tui, which I needed to run a few times. But it did ir.

For Nexrcloud, I wonder if rclone might work?

So you ran it from a downloaded iCloud Takeout? Not sure if I can expect that downloading a 2.1TB zip file (or 210 10GB zip files or something) from the Apple website will work...

Also, won't immich-go duplicate the files?

from-icloud: Another specialized command that handles the complexity of an iCloud Photos takeout, correctly identifying creation dates and album structures from the included CSV files.

I wonder if it can get the rest of the metadata too...

I dumped the files from Sandra's iPhone to an SSD, and used immich-go on that.

It did the de-duping as part of the process.
