As someone who used both, the biggest difference is a nicer and much faster UI for photos
Comment on immich v1.127.0 released with manual face tagging feature

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.

I love Immich, i think it’s a great replacement for Google photos.

If you already use Nextcloud, try the Memorie-Extension. It has all the features of Immich. The tagging-feature for faces has been there for at least the year I am using it now.

My worry with this is that it might be super resource heavy and unstable. That’s not based on thorough investigation though. I’ve been eyeing it for my 80gb photo library. How does it work for you?

My picture folder contains 1,4 TB of data, with many RAW-files and some Videos. Memories is handling that without a problem. I especially like the way it handles RAW-files, by grouping them together with the fitting JPEG.
I don’t know about how ressource heavy it is, but my server is really nothing special.
Features I like and use:
- automatic and manual people recognition
- sorting it on a map according to the geo data
- most used: Timeline, sorted by date. I barely organize my photos in folders now, because the timeline-sorting is what I want and enjoy.
- Albums to share fotos with family and friends. They don’t need a Nextcloud-Account to access them.

That’s incredibly helpful, thank you! I think I’m going to give it a go. Do you have any process for adding your photos?

I think it’s much easier to use across devices, no lag, quick processing times, and a really transparent and active developer

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.
