83k Github stars in under 4 years is definitely indicative of an excellent project
Comment on Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I

Seriously everyone pushes Immich so hard I’m a little suspicious of it now :D

Github stars are indicative of nothing

They are indicative of something. That something is just not always “this project is good”.

Correct: it’s like trying to equate “correct” with “popular”, and keeping in mind how the last US elections have turned out.
But it’s good to be in a big network of other users with the same product, nonetheless.

You can just buy them, same way you can buy likes on any other platform. Don’t use them as any kind of metric.

It’s crazy good for something FREE. Like infinitely better than any major crop google apple etc because you KEEP your photos. Anything you upload to the cloud is being mined by them.
The only thing I tell people is that you need a cloud backup.
I have an automated nightly worker that zips all my photos encrypts them with a 32 character password and then uploads it to a bulk storage facility.

I do something similar using restic to encrypt, deduplicate, and backup my photos to backblaze every now and then. Out of curiosity, any particular reason you choose zip over something like restic?
madcaesar@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I use restic too, just said zip since more people might understand it easier

Any suggestions and estimate pricing?

I use backblaze it’s like $3 a month or something

Agree, backblaze has been great

Wasabi is a very affordable destination for backups. And it has the advantage of not being one of the big three.

I use backblaze, $6/TB/mo. i set it up with restic backups to get my storage usage so low, that I’ve used it for 4 months and haven’t paid yet.

Yeah. I just put the media location on my nas, and that is being mirrored to hetzner.

As a newbie in selfhosting, Immich is what I use almost every day. And it is so good. A literal Google Photos but it’s my own. Snappy web app and android app. Has epic face recognition, contextual search and now even text recognition. All that on an efficient and not so powerful N100 cpu. I can totally see why community loves it.

Shhhh! No one can no we are all being played by the immich overlords.

I found it a couple of months ago without hearing about it before. I was in an ideal place for a Google Photos replacement.
There’s a couple of rough edges but it is, indeed, best-of-class.

The fediverse is small and the Immich dev is one of our own, not surprising that it’s super popular
