Comment on Looking for a tool for browsing contents of unmounted cold storage
aksdb@lemmy.world 5 days agoI heavily use Immich for images and am very happy. Since you can specify custom storage locations it might be worth a shot adding your external storage, let it index everything and then test how it behaves when the external storage is offline. Maybe it keeps thumbnails separate too then you could even browse the library visually and you would only run into errors once you try to open an image.

I had an issue setting up immich for my parents, whre the fs would stall too long for it to successfully get files. Missing media was just getting displayed as a grey box with a “missing media” text on them.
