Been running immich for a while but haven't dropped my Google photos just to make sure I can manage immich and not lose everything. Updated from 1.8.something to 1.9something which includes a big db rework and lost all my user accounts. I imagine the photos are still in there somewhere but i haven't dug in yet so they're effectively gone. Lost a lot of trust for me with that even though it was probably my fault.
- raudette 3y agoThis one got me too - check out: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/5907 https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/5907 Running REINDEX TABLE USERS; on the DB solved the issue for me. Immich is definitely fast moving - it is awesome, but has been a challenge to keep it current.
- patmorgan23 3y agoYeah I think immich recommends keeping a separate archive for anything you care about.
- nsteel 3y agoIt most definitely does. There's a big banner at the top of their website: The project is under very active development. Expect bugs and changes. Do not use it as the only way to store your photos and videos
- nirav72 3y agoI keep seeing immich mentioned a lot in selfhosting community. Is there a mobile app that can connect to the selfhosted backend server?
- cmrdporcupine 3y agoyes. And even an Android TV app in dev, too. I self-host on my own local server on my LAN (an RK3588 ARM SoC board running in a cigar box...) and expose it to the app via Tailscale when I'm out and about. Works great Though I still back up to Google Photos as well
