Is it the best or is it just the one you use? Have you used both? Recently? Immich has changed a lot in the past year or two.
IMO just the fact that it's a NextCloud thing kinda sucks
Having used both, immich wins by a landslide. I was initially waiting until it got to a stable release, but it's already so much better. I'd recommend anyone to just use immich.
Louis discusses his experience with Nextcloud in the first portion of the video.
For him, Nextcloud's gallery app runs much slower than Immich. The Nextcloud app only supports proxy image previews but no proxy video previews, which Immich does.
Memories and Gallery (actually deprecated by photos) are not the same thing, just to clarify. I'm not in a position to agree or disagree with any of the statements here since I've never used immich, but I don't want people to think that the default photo viewer in nextcloud is what was being discussed here.
Nextcloud is so slow though, I just wish they would fix the performance of it. Taking 2+ seconds to load a file browser is crazy.
NC has also had some major data loss/corruption bugs I've been hit with, I switched away from it because I was tired of the bugs.
It actually looks great. I'm surprised to see that to be honest. But I use next cloud only as an alternative to Google drive. I find most of the times I can't make apps work and risk breaking my next cloud installation. But if it works for you, awesome 👍
I got an Orange Pi 5+ for Immich (pi 4 [4GB] was struggling with the ML features enabled).
Immich is awesome!
The devs did a Q&A that answer pretty much every question in this comment section: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwz2iZwYpgg
I love Immich and we used it for a long time but we eventually switched to Ente Photos simply because Immich's upload on iOS isn't really working and it took hours for some members in my family to sync 200 pictures that are being synced within a few minutes on Android. That was frustrating.
With Ente Photos that's working fine so we decided to make the switch.
Yeah. Hopefully this grant can give Immich the TLC it needs to address its current shortcomings.
Agree. At least they already know about this and told they want to address it in the future.
Did they talk about what features and improvements are planned?
I'd love better import and duplicate detection features. I might even wait to see what comes of this before I import the bulk of my library. I've already invested my Google Photos and my phone but the majority of that can be replaced by higher quality photos in my iPhoto library.
Always good to hear such news.
Maybe here somebody can help me with a related question: I'm so far just using nextcloud to have my photos somewhere safe but wanted to move to another solution for a while. So far I have only really looked into photoprism, but some problems prevented me to change.
So my first question is: can somebody sum up a comparison between immich and photoprism?
And second is the same just focused on my prior problems: I have a lot of very old (scanned) photos which are hardly sorted, duplicated and so on. Further I have an album of rather decent photos (my own wedding) in which the photographer didn't include any exif data which is relevant for me (particularly coordinates and creation date, without that they are just completely unsorted on the database). In photoprism I did not find a good way to fix those meta data in bulk and need to do it before I import them, so if I miss something I need to delete them from photoprism and start over (which is also struggling). Is this solved better?
In general I would love if such a tool had some kind of import staging. So my phone uploads the photos and they are safely backed up, but I need to approve them to be included in the overall library. This feature I would like because I often make photos of things I don't need more then ten minutes.
Best wishes
Photoprism is straight trash next to Immich. Not to mention the required fee just to upload photos to YOUR cloud...
I hope someone can help you with this. Maybe you need to make a post disguised as a tutorial, setting it up incorrectly and have someone correct you :P
Great idea, thanks xD
Eh, what does this have over shotwell?
If this is a serious comment, a lot.
Immich is server based with a webUI, multi user support, has automatic backup from your devices, with face tagging and object tagging.
Ah, then its like apples and oranges.
Yeah, shotwell looks good if you're a single user and already have all your images stored locally, although if you wanted face tagging DigiKam is also a local only photo management app that does some more advanced stuff.
Yeah that's definitely something I don't want
