Comment on recommendations for selfhosted photo backup solution: folders vs albums?

From what I understand (I could be wrong) all of the images get imported into a single folder and are done via the database. I have my albums in individual folders. So not only would I have to recreate dozens of albums but I don’t think there would be any way to export them in the future. But if that isn’t how it works maybe I will give it another go.

Storage Templates. Photos are stored in subdirectories categorized by date.
CLI Import. It looks like you may be able to import your albums with the cli and --album flag, not sure about exporting though.

Interesting. It is still going to duplicate all my images in the import process which I’m not a big fan of, but seems like it is worth taking another look at.
