I’m finally migrating from iCloud Photos to Immich next weekend. I finally have my NAS setup going

Can you please let us know how the transition went after a few weeks? I’m also considering the same but I’m also content with Apple Photos features like live photos etc.

I transitioned from Google photos to immich about a year ago:
-
face recognition is absurdly much better
-
searching for images is some black magic stuff
-
it’s generally faster
-
it’s map is really slow

Live Photos works in Immich.
One thing I really like about Apple photos is the memories that it suggests.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Live photos are supported but only in the web version as of now

Immich is such a cool piece of software 🤩

Every day that I don’t switch, immich keeps getting better!
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Do it
riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Yeah I’ve been waiting until it’s updates stop breaking backwards compatibility. It’s sounding better and better as time goes on.
Redfugee@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Wait no more! Immich 2.0 is the first stable release. https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/tag/v2.1.0

oh fuck me i missed the 2.0;-)
AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I mean, if you’re offering….
Tywele@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I love immich and as soon as the feature for automatic clean up for already backed up images is available it’s going to be perfect.
maniel@sopuli.xyz 2 weeks ago
automatic stacking would be nice too

Those who run immich, how have you been backing up your library?
My deployment isn’t anything fancy, it is currently a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 2TB external drive for the photo library. Been running for more than 6 months with minimal issues. Now that we are at a stable release I need to get some kinda backup going for the photos themselves.
skilltheamps@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
The same way as all other services: all relevant data (compose.yml and all volume mounts) are in a btrfs subvolume. Every night a snapshot gets made and mirrored to a remote server by btrbk.
ngdev@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
how much do you pay for the remote server? was thinking about doing something like this for nextcloud (and i might end up using immich in the future)
Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I run Immich in a VM on Proxmox which gets backed up every 12 hours and all my photos are on the NAS which gets snapshotted every 12 hours and pushed to an external drive and a Hetzner box.
riquisimo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Translation: “I run immich in a virtual machine, which I can manage from a web browser. The photos themselves are stored on a different device which gets backed up to a remote location twice a day.”
So why run immich in a virtual machine instead of in, say, a docker? Wouldn’t that be way less overhead? (Or is immich the only thing you’re hosting?)
JC1@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Immich photos are one of the main thing I backup. I use duplicacy and I backup to backblaze B2 storage. It does incremental backups. Same thing with docker persistent data or other things I consider important.
nfreak@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Nothing fancy. I use Backrest for all my backups, and a few of my plans just include the Immich directory. My NAS is an entirely separate machine so my local backups go there, while everything is simultaneously pushed to a backblaze bucket
Cyber@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
I run it baremetal, the photos / videos are all on a separate location (so are “Externsl Libraries” in Immich) and are backed up…
As far as the Immich application itself, I’m not currently backing up anything as I’ve been trialing it… but, I’ll aim to backup any configurations, but I’m thinking to maybe ignore any database - it can just relearn everything if I need to do a restore… depends how big that DB is…
ripcord@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I clone the dirs nightly to a separate server + storage. Monthly to an offsite.
Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
I backup the underlying storage (which is a VM) that immich writes to.
In theory it should be a perfect copy that just crashed.Fmstrat@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
ZFS sending to a remotelab.

Borg backup runs every hour on all my docker folders
DevoidWisdom@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I have Immich on a proxmox container and use proxmox backup. It has already save me once.
corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Still crutching on containers?
AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I hated them too at first, but that’s because I didn’t understand them and they were new and scary.
They’re still a little scary but, after having a dependency issue on another Linux box, I get the purpose of docker a little bit better now.
Here’s a helpful primer:
arcterus@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Your kubernetes seems a bit unstable.
4k93n2@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
that ship is still floating and theres no containers in the water. seems good to me
reddit_sux@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Has anyone be able to get memories to work. I don’t get any notifications. I probably don’t understand how that works. Any pointers except the official documentation will be helpful.
Esc@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
Notifications? It doesn’t give you notifications. It just shows it at the top in the main interface (if there are any).
skilltheamps@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
They show images from the same day in past years. So if your library has no images >= 1 year old I’m not sure if anything shows up.

This thing changes versions faster than I can update my homelab… Lol.

JASN_DE@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Which isn’t a great idea with all the breaking changes. I’d assume it gets better after v2, but still.

This looks a lot more complicated that Watchtower. Is this something different or add other functionality?
nfreak@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
I’ve been running this setup for a few months now and haven’t looked back. Works super well, and essentially acts as an approval process for letting a container update or not.
The author also recently added a followup article to this one for using Forgejo instead, made migrating the setup super easy.
JC1@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Why this complicated setup? Komodo handles auto update by itself. It also update the whole stack at once, so no shutdown of the BD while the app stays up. Just have 2 checkboxes to tick.
The less stuff the better, it’s essential in case you have a failure. I only have to redeploy komodo, then all my stacks will be ready to get back online. I even removed watchtower.
