  So far, so good? The initial rollout was rough, and the app kept reuploading my whole album and then realizing it was already there.

  But since the flurry of hotfixes, its been smoother sailing

  Can’t really comment on the older versions since I recently deployed the server. However from the past couple of updates, the background syncing has improved on the Android version. Before I had to open the app for it to sync but recent updates now upload media without me having to open the app.

  For the app itself, works pretty well. There still seems to be bugs or weird UI changes like adding to albums disappeared when you click a photo or video but its there on the grid view if you hold the file.

  Well after reading this I just went to open the app and it now things none of my tens of thousands of photos are synced to the server, yet the sync icon at the top says there’s nothing to sync. So… not great today lol

    You might have to sign out and then in again. There was a bug with the initial release that caused this kind of behavior

  My use case:

  I use a Synology NAS to backup my photos/videos. On mobile, I use the Synology Photos app for 100% of the backups, because it’s been 100% reliable for me over the years.

  I basically run Immich in read-only mode, and specifically for searches. The contextual search is incredible, and after putting it side-by-side with a very expensive Windows software that uses local AI search, it came out on top… no contest.

  So in that sense, I’m very happy!

    Silly question, how does immich read from NAS? Is that a native functionality or do you mount it in docker?

      Yes, when you mount the external library (when setting up docker), you can set it as read-only. 👌

    Same here. Their recent antics has made me nervous about staying with them. But their photo software is great.

  I run it on a VPS. Works great across oceans. Biggest gripe is that it doesn’t load local content first. It checks online and then pulls from those thumbnails. So if you have a weak or slow connection, then you’ll get a spinning wheel of death or assets that don’t load properly.

    That’s a setting

      Client side or server side?

  Running minipc with immich pointed to NAS drive with photos. I had issues with uploading files in the background on previous version but it seems to be fixed right now.

  The Android app finally works the way you’d expect it. The UI no longer lags due to syncing. Syncing is much faster and more reliable.

  I’m on version 1.143.1

  About 30k photos and 2k videos

  The web interface was great, the android app (pixel 8) was very slow. Even local assets were slow.

  Since update, its way faster. Feels really good, responsive, low latency. Sync and backups have been no issue at all.

  Sync on android turned itself off after updating, but I turned it back on, selected the same folders to watch and it processed for a few mins and then everything continued to work with no issues.

  As long as you keep the apps up to date both on your devices and the server, I’ve had zero issues with it!

  I just wanted something similar to Google photos which i could set and forget, other than being a bit lazy with managing my NAS, it’s been flawless! Plus it’s the benefit that my data is staying with me 🥰

  I’ve tried 3 or 4 times to set it up but I just can’t mount a folder within the same drive for immich to recognize. My next plan is install mint and immich on a separate drive and connect my photo drive as external to upload to immich.
