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

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

    I got the supporter for free, because I donated to them before they joined FUTO. I donate frequently to opensource projects. This is a good way to say thanks to the devs 😊

    Even small donations are fine, so please donate to projects you enjoy 👍🏻

    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

      Immich: Image Backup* solution — like Google Photos or Ente Photos but self-hosted.

      *Backup in the sense of uploading your photos to a server you own. You should backup the database as well as your library with 3-2-1 method.

              You put them in a safe. Safe falls down, spinning is gone.

              You put them in a safe and forget about them for some time. Flash is gone, spinning still has data.

          • Short: It is a second Hardrive using borg that backs up the primary Hardrive.

          • Long: My Backup strategy:-

          Databases and other imp files:

          For databases the backup happens every night that gets saved on the server itself. Then when my laptop connects either to the home network or to the Internet, the backup zip files on my server syncs to my laptop via syncthing. Then my laptop’s data is backed up to OneDrive (encrypted) — this includes the immich database backups. I usually keep 7 days worth of backup files just incase some get corrupted and I can just go back to the previous day.

          Library

          Since my Immich Library is big, daily borg backups are not possible for 200 gigs. So I have scheduled them every Sunday morning when I rarely use the server. The hardrive is exclusively used only for Immich. That hardrive is then backed up to another hardrive using borg and also to my OneDrive using rclone. (All encrypted). So 3 copies of the data, 2 on 2 different hardives (1 is primary) and 1 offsite.
