Been trying it for a little while. It’s exactly what I have been looking for.

  • Works great
  • is encrypted
  • can be self hosted
  • edge ML for photo search (not perfect yet)

    I have around 800 GB of photos from me, my dad and my fiance. That would be $ 20 a month. Ok, still not bad, I don’t think I could get it much cheaper on a VPS.

    For now what I’m doing is running https://immich.app on my laptop at home with a connected external USB drive. It’s not e2e encrypted, just with ssl on https. But other than that it seems to have similar functionality.

        I also really wonder, they say face recognition and ML categorization happen on the edge. I guess this would drain the battery quite a lot doing it for the 800 GB and it will take forever.
