    Immich is a privacy-focused, open-source photo and video backup solution you host yourself. No Google account, no data mining you control your files.

    ⚠️ Requires self-hosting (Docker) and you are responsible for backups.

    Stupid question perhaps, but I never see it addressed and I don’t see it even on forums, usually :
    Does it have anything for handling porn? Or more generally, can you hide NSFW photos, not just with separate users, but in general when you’re watching your own? Like, I’ve quite a bit of nudes on my Onedrive, and there is no way to mark it as such, so once in a while, a nude will get picked and shown in the gallery. Not optimal.

    I know I soumd crazy to many Linux/self-hosters these days, but why are some projects like this only distributed as docker containers? What’s so special or complex about a program that it cannot run reliably in other setups rather than one ‘blessed’ container config?

    I don’t like containers serving as ‘black boxes’… I hear Immich is pretty awesome though so may try it anyhow.

      I’d guess it’s beneficial for smaller teams as it wipes out 95% of the “it runs fine on my machine” problems that bespoke PC configs generate. The devs would rather fix bugs on their system and add new features than waste days figuring out why a feature isn’t working for a single user’s config.

      You can still extract the content of the container to see everything in the image if desired, and you can access the console and logs to see everything happening while it’s running.

      Theres not much in the way of downsides. More space used for the image vs direct install being the main one.

      As an admin selfhoster I can tell you that immich is fantastic. My wife is using it on her phone. We used photoprism for a while to test out the waters of self hosting. But immich offers much more flexibility and ease of use as well as a multiuser setup. It gets videos and images from our various phones and my DSLR. It really is great and we have unloaded images from Google. I can’t wait for Google to ask us to opt out of getting AI naked images of our selves. With immich I can share links with family if I want and I can just remove those link when I am done with that. No one else can accidentally land at my photos from Google became a login is required.

        Thanks for your impressions. I currently run Nextcloud and its photo/video backup is ‘ok’ but I wish they would get around to implementing a delay in backups before removing from one’s local phone album; and viewing albums is a bit clunky. The image tagging is also hit or miss.
