I have to warn you about Immich on one item: large file upload. Immich does not have chunk uploading, so if you are backing up a large video and you lose internet, the upload has to start all over. I found this out when my phone was trying to upload a 4k video that was about 10GB.
Comment on Self hosted photo options for the family?

Just use Immich. It’s easy and apes Google Photos.
Ente is the other main option, but I never evaluated it because Immich worked so well.

massive_bereavement@fedia.io 26 minutes ago I eventually set syncthing to do phone image and video backups. That kinda solved this issue.

Can you upload by any other means, or does it always require it’s own upload mechanism?

Just recently migrated from Ente to Immich. Immich is much nicer, more consistent, friendlier to self host, and less buggy in my experience so far.

Immich doesn’t have shared album option does it ?
ShortN0te@lemmy.ml 8 hours ago
You can share albums with other users, or even with a public link.

Yes but can someone else upload photos into your albums?
mereo@piefed.ca 6 hours ago
It does. My Immich installation is behind a reverse proxy, and I simply share the link to the albums with friends and family.

Can they upload photos onto your server too?

It does, and they work well.

Immich is the easiest self-hosted thing I’ve set up. It also might’ve been the first.
