Comment on Finding a private self hosted Google Photos alternative that doesn’t profit from my photos

I tried Photoprism, Ente and Immich.

Immich is by far the best. It has got an app that really does what it should do, has an AI that actually works and is easy to host and to update.

Last I tried Immich its background upload was horrible.

Some of that is definitely iOS being bad, but other apps at least semi-worked when Immich didn’t at all.

I might try it again, though. See if it’s improved.

  They mentioned “better background backups” as a enhancement as since version 1.141.1 which was released on 9/8/2025. Personally I just started testing it after v2.0 so I’m not sure how bad it was previously but have not seen any significant issues with backup.

  I honestly have no idea if the iOS app works properly.

Do you conbect to your immich instance remotely when not home or just dump the photos once home?

  I use nextcloud as a general drive, where I also upload photos automatically. Then I just joint the images folder in my immich container.

  I’ve got Wireguard running. As soon I am on wifi, my phone uploads the new pictures.
