Just tried Immich to replace Google photos (immich.app)

Wow. I've only just started testing it against GP, but it's really slick and works really well. Lots more fine control than GP, and the only thing that isn't quite as good is the photo editing on the app and web site, and that is on the roadmap. Oh, and I can't see how to set up TLS but I might just be missing something.

Be sure to try Immich, too. If you don't need E2E it's better in my book. Especially with local-AI powered search, which Ente doesn't have.

Thanks for the extra recommendation. I’ll definitely check it out. What caught my eye mostly was the clean mobile app of Ente. Immach’s mobile app sure looks close. I don’t technically need E2E since I’m self-hosting… Decisions decisions…

That was actually what made my decision. My drive is encrypted at rest, and E2E makes it much harder to do other things I may want to do with my library. For instance, I have a bunch of photography sessions imported as local libraries, so they're just folders on disk I can modify outside of Immich as I want.

Awesome. Thanks!

I’m going to be trying this on my Kubernetes cluster. I don’t suppose either of you (Matt/fmstrat) have that working - do you?

There is an official helm chart for immich that works very well. Whenever there are breaking changes you may need to update the chart version to apply the breaking changes (ie the recent port change). Doing it with helm chart makes it so you don't have to do much more than change 2 version numbers on occasion.
