One of the best pieces of self-hosted software ever to exist.
Edit: This is Immich! for the folks who don't know.
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
No spam posting.
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
No trolling.
No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

Seriously everyone pushes Immich so hard I'm a little suspicious of it now :D
Edit: all right, all right, I installed it. It has a thing about not uploading all the pictures I give it, some error out. I have a feeling it is due to the library being on a NAS share.
The fediverse is small and the Immich dev is one of our own, not surprising that it's super popular
83k Github stars in under 4 years is definitely indicative of an excellent project
Github stars are indicative of nothing
They are indicative of something. That something is just not always “this project is good”.
Thousands of them are indicative
You can just buy them, same way you can buy likes on any other platform. Don't use them as any kind of metric.
You can but if you buy 80k people are gonna investigate and will easily find out you did. Stars are public. I have a folder on my computer with a dataset of 90% of all stars on github
It's just that good
I found it a couple of months ago without hearing about it before. I was in an ideal place for a Google Photos replacement.
There's a couple of rough edges but it is, indeed, best-of-class.
Shhhh! No one can no we are all being played by the immich overlords.
As a newbie in selfhosting, Immich is what I use almost every day. And it is so good. A literal Google Photos but it's my own. Snappy web app and android app. Has epic face recognition, contextual search and now even text recognition. All that on an efficient and not so powerful N100 cpu. I can totally see why community loves it.
