One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.

Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don’t know.

    Seriously everyone pushes Immich so hard I’m a little suspicious of it now :D

      The fediverse is small and the Immich dev is one of our own, not surprising that it’s super popular

      83k Github stars in under 4 years is definitely indicative of an excellent project

          They are indicative of something. That something is just not always “this project is good”.

          Correct: it’s like trying to equate “correct” with “popular”, and keeping in mind how the last US elections have turned out.

          But it’s good to be in a big network of other users with the same product, nonetheless.

            You can just buy them, same way you can buy likes on any other platform. Don’t use them as any kind of metric.

              You can but if you buy 80k people are gonna investigate and will easily find out you did. Stars are public. I have a folder on my computer with a dataset of 90% of all stars on github

      It’s crazy good for something FREE. Like infinitely better than any major crop google apple etc because you KEEP your photos. Anything you upload to the cloud is being mined by them.

      The only thing I tell people is that you need a cloud backup.

      I have an automated nightly worker that zips all my photos encrypts them with a 32 character password and then uploads it to a bulk storage facility.

      I found it a couple of months ago without hearing about it before. I was in an ideal place for a Google Photos replacement.

      There’s a couple of rough edges but it is, indeed, best-of-class.
