Does Photos have features you use that Immich doesn't? I've switched to the latter fully and love it (though I have an Android).

- bicepjai 10mo agoMusic and AI features are still lagging in Immich, and I can understand why. Immich machine learning is not flushed out yet. If Immich has plans for creating marketplace for extensibility like plugins, in the current era of Claude code, I am sure we will end up with many options or features.
- tentacleuno 10mo agoMusic? Like a music library? Wouldn't Subsonic be miles better for that?
- bicepjai 10mo agoLike Memories feature in Apple which uses media to make short form video but also picks and plays music with them. We love those videos. Enabling feature like that involves understanding metadata and media and music.
- tentacleuno 10mo agoAhh! They're really cool; kinda miss them from Google Photos. I'm hoping Immich will implement something similar at some point.
- QuiEgo 10mo agoEncryption at rest. If someone breaks into my house and steals my server I'd rather they not be able to get data. I can do LUKS but I really want the data to only ever be decrypted client side.
- nicbou 10mo agoHow much work is it to maintain an Immich instance? I'm trying to keep my digital setup lean, but I can't find a simple way to get photos off my iPhone and onto my home server. One way synchronization is my only goal. Extra features are not desired.
- stavros 10mo agoI change a line in the Dockerfile to upgrade it every few months, that's it. Otherwise it's zero.
- SirMaster 10mo agoIf all you want is a 1-way sync from phone to server, then just go with PhotoSync. You can set up a simple SFTP connection so you don't even need anything on the server. Immich is great if you want to be able to delete things from your phone to save space and still have access to all your content served from Immich on your server though.
- nicbou 10mo agoThis seems a lot better, thanks for the suggestion.
