One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.

Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don’t know.

    It’s a photo album? I kept hearing about it. I’ve been using a combo of just plain files, and sometimes nextcloud. Immich sounds like something to look into.

      The ML is really good. Google’s Face recognition is over-confident sometimes and is difficult to remove the tagged faces and add correct ones. Immich’s is very accurate and if it misses something I can just add them — 1 step instead of 2 with Google’s.

        Also, if it turns out that immich misses too many faces, or has too many false positives, or creates too many different persons for one face, or groups different persons together, you can tune that. You can set the threshold values for all these things, or just use a different ML model and reanalyse your whole library. Even on an older CPU without any special ML features, it takes less than a night to reanalyse a hundred thousand pictures or so.

          also, it’s just stating the obvious, but it’s not on a company’s server that will sell all your info to the highest bidder

      Certainly, especially because of the search features, social features and the ability to organise your photos, and the nice looking user interface.
