Immich user. I do miss the memories thing from Google photos but I expect it’s coming eventually. All the data is there at the foundational level.
My only real immich complaints are
A. The android app gets chonky slow when you have a huge library.
B. S3-like storage isn’t a supported config, meaning you have to manage your storage size somehow. I want to point immich at a Hetzner object storage bucket, arrange mirroring that to another s3 like cloud service, and then forgetting about storage forever.
Is this an ad for Ente? #digikam
There is also fossify gallery and open camera
Immich has memories
I would love to be wrong on this, as I think even without this feature, Immich is one of the best options available.
That said, I am referring to this feature: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/2836
If it has something similar, then I’ll happily consider it. To me, this is one of the more advanced (and well-liked) features of a photo app, which is why I have it there to help differentiate.
Immich says it is in very actice development and should not be considered a complete and sole solution
And where is OP getting a “one-time fee” from? Maybe counting a donation request?
This is the first version, so I expect there to be a few mistakes. Please flag and provide feedback if you notice any improvements.
Discovered some fantastic options through this research. Hopefully this guide can help you!
Ente is also self hostable. https://help.ente.io/self-hosting/
I guess we have different definitions of cross-platform but I think it’s unfair to leave extcloud out of the diagram when it has a memories app as well as one for facial recognition. it meets all criteria except an iOS app.
It is there for facial recognition, but yeah it wasn’t included due to lacking iOS and Desktop app. I did make a note there as to what it was missing and that there is one soon to be released.
There’s a Files desktop app, which will sync photo folders as regular folders.
Any suggestions for an Android camera app that works nicely with immich?
I’m doing research on self-hosted solutions as we speak. Here’s a comparison table of many different options. I’ve settled on Immich and am just about to start setting it up now.
