1 year agoOh man. Of all the self-hosted projects to not grasp, you picked the darling.
The creator of Immich had the same use case that got me in to self hosting:
- A new family with child.
- A whole lot of photos and video to share between the spouse and with extended family.
- Ballooning Google (One) photos costs, to which I asked: am I going to pay this forever? Storage also caps out at 2 tb, which we are using more than.
- A growing discontent with the idea of every family moment being harvested by a tech company I do not like.
At the core - Immich allows me a continuity of service and saves money while keeping spousal approval at the required levels.
It’s a replacement for Read It Later/Pocket/Instapaper.
Saves websites offline, with full copies/reading view/pdf.
