My use case:
I use a Synology NAS to backup my photos/videos. On mobile, I use the Synology Photos app for 100% of the backups, because it's been 100% reliable for me over the years.
I basically run Immich in read-only mode, and specifically for searches. The contextual search is incredible, and after putting it side-by-side with a very expensive Windows software that uses local AI search, it came out on top... no contest.
So in that sense, I'm very happy!
Silly question, how does immich read from NAS? Is that a native functionality or do you mount it in docker?
Yes, when you mount the external library (when setting up docker), you can set it as read-only. ๐
Same here. Their recent antics has made me nervous about staying with them. But their photo software is great.
