I’ve been using different software during the years to keep track of my pictures. None of them - other than Facebook - allowed to tag faces in pictures manually when the AI failed to do so. That was always very frustrating because some of the most important pictures I wanted to have there were not tagged and there was no way of manually doing it.
This is until today where this feature finally landed, I’m so excited, this will make the app much more useful. Now we could even pretend our cat Leo is a person and just tag his face manually ;)

Apples photos also has this feature, and it was one of the last things keeping me from self hosting photos.
Gonna start a mirror for my photo library now and see how it stacks up.
You can mount the directories into immich, even read only if you want.

I just run my immich instance on my desktop computer and mount the external hard drive there.
I’m not sure about the speed if you’d mount a local drive or a s3 bucket via fuse.
I’m waiting on two things from them and then I’ll be truly happy (I use it anyway)
-
A stable branch release so no more breaking changes
-
The ability to upload single photos to an album from the mobile app, not run a backup.

Haven’t heard about this project before. I was using a self hosted Nextcloud instance so far. What would be the benefit of switching to immich? I guess immich does have some advances features, like the tagging was mentioned, specifically for picture management.
As someone who used both, the biggest difference is a nicer and much faster UI for photos, oh, and you can search images for contents
I love Immich, i think it’s a great replacement for Google photos.
As someone who has used both. Immich is much more polished now. Very snappy, and lightweight compared to running a full nextcloud instance. It’s also better at face detection and tagging photos. I can search “breaker panel” and immediately find what I’m looking for.
So. Much. Better. I love Nextcloud but Immich uploads just work, private AI tagging, better UX, maps, it’s just better.
I think it’s much easier to use across devices, no lag, quick processing times, and a really transparent and active developer
Cool. Hopefully Ente does this. I don’t self host like I used to.
Still leaning on containers? I’ll wait, if that’s the case.
