Immich Google photo self hosted alternative

Image Backup* solution — like Google Photos or Ente Photos but self-hosted.
*Backup in the sense of uploading your photos to a server you own. You should backup the database as well as your library with 3-2-1 method.

What 2 different media types are you using for the “2” part?
Hominine@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Spinning and flash.

Why does it need to be two types? Can’t I have 2 spinning?

Short: It is a second Hardrive using borg that backs up the primary harddrive.
Long: My Backup strategy:-
Databases and other imp files:
For databases the backup happens every night that gets saved on the server itself. Then when my laptop connects either to the home network or to the Internet, the backup zip files on my server syncs to my laptop via syncthing. Then my laptop’s data is backed up to OneDrive (encrypted) — this includes the immich database backups. I usually keep 7 days worth of backup files just incase some get corrupted and I can just go back to the previous day.
Library
Since my Immich Library is big, daily borg backups are not possible for 200 gigs. So I have scheduled them every Sunday morning when I rarely use the server. The photos gets uploaded to the hardrive mounted to Immich’s Library directory. The hard drive is exclusively used only for Immich. That hard drive is then backed up to another hard drive using borg and also to my OneDrive using rclone. (All encrypted). So 3 copies of the data, 2 on 2 different hardives (off which 1 is primary) and one offsite.

I do nightly borg backups of much more than 200gb. The idea of incremental backups is you’re only doing the changes, and photos don’t tend to change.
What challenge did you come across with a 200GB backup?

Ente is also open source and can be self-hosted.
sonofearth@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If it works then great. I find it pretty lacking compared to Immich.
Dojan@pawb.social 2 months ago
I guess they fill different niches. I use Ente for the e2ee, that’s pretty important to me. Immich definitely seems more like a drop in Google Photos alternative, I just use software on my computer to do that instead.

Their auth is better than the tool itself (last time I evaluated options which was maybe a year ago)
Dojan@pawb.social 2 months ago
Oh they update a lot. The clients have gotten really snappy, which is nice because browsing photos felt a bit cumbersome before. There’s now automatic albums and facial recognition, if you opt in to that. Was going to say that there’s no editing tool but there is. It’s quite basic though, three tabs, crop, transform (rotate, flip, resize), and colours (brightness, contrast, saturation, and blur for some reason lmao).
There’s also a bunch of sharing features. You could share images or albums directly, or even create embeds for if you have a portfolio website. I pretty much only use it as a backup service though.
