Yep, this is what we use. I always found the others too prescriptive. I don’t need to add the type, size or brand of cheese, I just want to put cheese, and me or my wife knows what sort of cheese to buy.

If we need something specific, you can add that detail too.

Super quick, super simple. I would love a self hosted alternative, bit there is nothing as simple that I have found.

Postman is great for sending api queries.

Appointment looks interesting, I will have a bit of a look.

Yeah. I would keep the db local, and probably the thumbs and intermediary photos too. But the full resolution would probably be in S3.

dB’s are not good on object store, and not good running over the internet. I wish they had native S3 storage, as that would allow for high speed access, where as this will download to the server, then upload to the client which will add latency.

Cheers

This is self hosted dammit! But awesome writeup!

Is that your article ?

I am in a bit of a funny position, I am volunteering in an underdeveloped country, and have my immich instance running at my in-laws. But I don’t have access to my NAS. Backblaze would be ideal!

What have you done to run it there? Is it as easy as mounting juicefs, and pointing immich dirs there?

I have about 700gb that would have to be migrated, any ideas on that? Or would it be relatively transparent to immich just copy and pasting?

this is the same with every docker container.
