Hey folks!
It’s been a year and a half since I last posted about my self-hosted photo gallery here with release v0.15.0.
If you are happy with Immich that’s great! I’m mostly having some fun here and the more the merrier, right? :)
See link for the release notes since v0.15 or just skip to the demo.
Happy to hear any feedback, ideas, suggestions, or comments :)
I remember trying it. A very neat idea beautifully implemented. But switched to IMMICH, more features, closer to what I needed.
Keep up the great job! Having alternatives is always a good thing.
I loved photofield!
Hey thanks! The Immich folks are doing an astounding job indeed :)
I love how smooth is photo field, and the way it makes browsing your photos so unique.
I think it’s a neat project!
Good shit
Merrier indeed! 😎
This looks very nice.
Um, you know you’re supposed to keep dev tools in dev, right? Npm->commit->release payload without npm. Far fewer supply-chain exploits.
Thanks! Hmm, not sure what you mean, that I shouldn’t install devDependencies when building the release? That’s a good point, I’ll need to look into it
This looks good! It doesnt seem that it would fit my use case at the moment but it will be on my radar.
Thx! Out of interest, what is your use case?
I need an easy option to auto sync and backup my elderly parents phone pictures. That also wont propagate deletetions from either side. Im aiming for a failsafe style setup that they cant screw up.
Immich has been working well thus far. Due to the constant updates I have had a few issues to resolve after updates. Backup the backup!

Really didn’t like Immich because of its massive install size and being forced to use Docker - this project is exactly what I was looking for. One simple go binary with no extra hoops to get it up and running? Delicious.
Installed, will be following it for sure! Thanks for the excellent software.

Thanks for trying it out! Let me know if you run into any issues or have some ideas :)

What is the install size of immich? 😦
derin@lemmy.beru.co 4 days ago
It’s the install size of docker and any container it brings down with it.
Really, I just don’t like the idea of being forced to use something massive like docker for a single program.
Just give me a binary and let me set up hardening via systemd - or at least a source tarball or something.
Sincerely: someone who thinks software should not primarily be distributed through docker.

Exactly my situation. Thanks @mlunar@lemmy.world. The only way this could be done better was to do it in PHP / have fastcgi so it wouldn’t require a constantly running background process specifically for it.

I don’t know a lot about fastcgi, but looking it up it seems like it also keeps a persistent process running to avoid execution overhead, but I don’t know how that process is managed 🤷♂️
Either way, you could use a supervisor of sorts that shuts down the process/container after some idle time (at least for containers I know some exist) and that should probably work fine (outside of interrupting scanning operations).
I haven’t tried it myself yet though :)
