tldr is that you can hide the button that asks for payment and it says “purchase immich” instead of “purchase liscence”
Is immich in a usable state yet?
I’ve been using it for 388 days (as helpfully shown by the new buy button, nice touch), and it’s been stable and rock solid the entire time.
I’ve had a few times it went offline, due to the breaking changes in the docker compose file because I auto-update everything, but it’s always been like a 2 minute fix and it’s back online.
Everything is backed up on my server nightly with incremental backups, both locally and online. So I’m not really worried about something going catastrophically wrong and deleting all my photos or something.
(just point to a folder and you’re good to go)
Immich has that in external library support, it’s pretty easy to set up.
+1 to everything you just said - I’ve been using Immich for a little less (370 days, thanks to the same button). It’s feature rich and rock solid.
Only thing I hope they add to the mobile app is the Years/Months/Days option, to make it easy to quickly group, then find, your photos. It’s the one thing that keeps me using my phone’s own Photos app (locally - no cloud sync).
