No more Google Photos

It's the closest thing to a perfect self-hosted replacement for Google Photos. The UI is incredibly snappy, and the facial recognition and search features work surprisingly well. My only real gripe is that iOS background syncing can be a bit finickyโ€”I usually have to actually open the app to get backups to trigger and complete. But once the photos are up there, the experience is stellar. Definitely worth hosting.

Janky ux

I could tell there was something not quite right about this. Turns out itโ€™s a flutter app. Everything made sense after that

Fantastic product

Thank you guys soo much for keeping this free and open source! One of the best apps I host and use. Appreciate it team!

Keeps crashing - thatโ€™s all folks

Wanted to really like Immich, after reading rave reviews. Out the time in to install the Docker image. But the iOS crashed on me twice. Sorry but thatโ€™s not a possible replacement for my Apple Photos app. Iโ€™m going to uninstall swiftly.

Einfach toll

Es ist echt der Wahnsinn was fรผr eine tolle Software man hier zum selbst hosten bekommt. Endlich kann ich mit meiner Partnerin unsere Urlaubsfotos auf einer Plattform sammeln bei der man nicht das Gefรผhl hat die Trainingsdaten fรผr irgendein Big Tech Unternehmen zu liefern. Volle Kontrolle รผber die eigenen Daten und dabei tolle Features wie Gesichtserkennung auf der eigenen Hardware. Alles fรผhlt sich rund an und mir ist bisher kein Bug begegnet. Macht weiter so, ihr seid einfach super!
